- Step 1: Rajan spends 10% on rent, so 90% remains.

- Step 2: He spends 20% of what's left on transport. That leaves him with 72% of the original salary.

- Step 3: Rajan spends 40% of what's left on food. Now, 43.2% of the salary is remaining.

- Step 4: He spends 80% of this remaining amount on bills, leaving 8.64% of the total salary.
