SOLUTION

From the question, a person should spend

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{3\text{ }}\text{ of salary on rent } \\ \frac{1}{10}\text{ into savings } \\ \frac{1}{3}\text{ in taxes} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Fraction left after everything would be 1, minus the all the fractions. we have

[tex]\begin{gathered} 1-(\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{3}) \\ 1-(\frac{10+3+10}{30}) \\ 1-\frac{23}{30} \\ =\frac{30-23}{30} \\ =\frac{7}{30} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence the answer is

[tex]\frac{7}{30}[/tex]
