Rohan spends 24% of an amount of money on an insurance policy, 36% on food, 18% on children's education and 14% on recreation. He deposits the remaining amount of Rs. 504 in the bank. What is the total amount that he spends on food and insurance policy together?

Let the total initial amount of money Rohan has be 100%.
Total percentage spent by Rohan:

Total Spent=24% (Insurance)+36% (Food)+18% (Education)+14% (Recreation)
Total Spent=92%
The remaining percentage deposited in the bank:

Remaining Percentage=100%−92%=8%
According to the question, this 8% corresponds to Rs. 504:

8% of Total Amount=504
Total Amount=
8
504
​
×100=Rs. 6,300
We need to find the total amount spent on food and the insurance policy together:

Combined Percentage=36% (Food)+24% (Insurance)=60%
Combined Expenditure=60% of 6,300=
100
60
​
×6,300=60×63=Rs. 3,780
