2-In 2009, Ali read 10 English and 7 French books. In 2010, his ratio of English buks is 3times french buks and he read 60% of french books in 2010 then how many books he read in 2010?

3-Salma spent 1/10 of her income on clothes, 1/10 of the remaining on food, and 1/3 of the remaining on rental. if she left with Rs. 648 what is her total income?
In 2009, Ali read English books = 10 French Books = 7

In 2010, He read English Books = x French Books = 3 x


So in 2010 the number of French Books ALi read was 3x and the total number of books was 17 + 4x. Then 60% or 3/5 = 3x/ 17+ 4x

Cross multiply we get x = 17.

Therefore, x= 17 and 3x = 3(17) = 51

So in 2010 he read 68 Books (17 English and 51 French).
