Abe owns a restaurant. Every month he spends a third of his budget on food, a quarter of his budget on restaurant supplies, and the rest of his budget on employee wages. If his budget is $3000 and he uses it up every month, how much is he spending on wages?
Abe is spending a third of his budget on food, so he spends $3000 / 3 = $<<3000/3=1000>>1000 on food.
He spends a quarter of his budget on restaurant supplies, so he spends $3000 / 4 = $<<3000/4=750>>750 on supplies.
Thus, he spends $3000 - $1000 - $750 = $<<3000-1000-750=1250>>1250 on employee wages every month.
