Answer:
The amount of Rita's pocket money left is Rs. 36.
Step-by-step explanation:
Pocket money that Rita had before = 144
Money spent for magazines = 52% of 144
= [tex]\frac{52}{100} (144)[/tex]
= 0.52(144)
= 74.88
Money spent for movies = 23% of 144
= [tex]\frac{23}{100} (144)[/tex]
= 0.23(144)
= 33.12
Money left with Rita = 144 - (74.88 + 33.12)
= 144 - 108
= 36
Hence, Rita left with Rs. 36.
Aliter:
Total money spent = (52 + 23)% = 75%
So, money left with Rita = 100 - 75 = 25%
25% of 144 = 0.25(144) = 36.
