Thabo spends \( 35 \% \) of her income on clothes and \( 40 \% \) on food. If food amounts to R384, what does she spend on clothes (in Rand)?

To find out how much Thabo spends on clothes, we first need to determine her total income based on the amount spent on food. We know that Thabo spends \( 40\% \) of her income on food, and this amounts to R384. We can set up an equation to find her total income (I): \[ 0.40I = 384 \] To find \( I \), we can divide both sides by \( 0.40 \): \[ I = \frac{384}{0.40} = 960 \] Now that we have her total income, we can calculate how much she spends on clothes. Since she spends \( 35\% \) of her income on clothes, we can calculate that amount as follows: \[ \text{Clothes expenditure} = 0.35 \times 960 = 336 \] Thus, Thabo spends R336 on clothes.
