Question

12. Vikas spent 78% of his salary and saved 5500. Find his salary.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 25000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let his salary be Rs. x

If he spent 78% of his salary, amount of salary he saved = 100-78 = 22%

Now ATQ,

22% of x = 5500

=> 22/100 × x = 5500

=> x = 5500 × 100/22 = 25,000

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$\bf\Large\underline{\underline{\red{Question :}}}$

• Vikas spent 78% of his salary and saved 5500. Find his salary.

$\bf\Large\underline{\underline{\red{To \:find :}}}$

• Vikas's salary

$\bf\Large\underline{\underline{\red{Solution :}}}$

Let Vikas's salary be x.

• Money he spent = 78 %
• Money he saved = 100 - 78 = 22%

∴ 22% = Rs. 5500

According to the question,

⇒ 22 % of x = 5500

⇒ $\large\tt \frac{22}{100} \times x = 5500$

⇒ $\large\tt \frac{22}{100} x = 5500$

⇒ $\large\tt x = 5500 \: \times \frac{100}{22}$

⇒ $\begin{gathered} \rm x = \cancel{5500} \times \frac {100\cancel{}}{\cancel{22}} = 25000 \\ \\ \end{gathered}$

⇒ x = Rs. 25000

Hence, Vikas's salary is Rs. 25000.
