A headmaster contributes 7% of his income into a fund and his wife contributes 4% of her income. If the husband earns N5,500 per annum (p.a) and the wife earns N4,000 (P.a), find the sum of their annual contribution to the fund
N1045
N605
N545
N490
N440
Maelezo
Husband contributions = \(\frac{7}{100}\) x N5,500 = N385
Wife contribution = \(\frac{4}{100}\) x N4,000 = N160
Sum of their Annual contribution = N385 + N160 = N545
Wife contribution = \(\frac{4}{100}\) x N4,000 = N160
Sum of their Annual contribution = N385 + N160 = N545
