From one percentage to the whole

Give the total of the stated shares, the rupee figure, and whether that figure is the amount spent on those shares or the amount left over. The console runs the unitary step both via 1% and via the tidy fraction, so you can see which is faster on any given question.

Shares total 80%, ₹1,500 left
20% = 1,500 · salary 7,500
The two modes give very different answers on the same numbers — which is exactly the reading the model tests.
