What is her salary for the month?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let her monthly salary be ₹ x.

spent on house rent = 30/100 ×x = 3x/10

spent on education of children = 20/100×x = x/5

spent on food item = 35/100×x = 7x/20

spent on entertainment = 5/100×x = x/20

Sheela's savings = ₹3250

ATP,

x-(3x/10+x/5+7x/20+x/20) = ₹3250

x-18x/20 = 3250

x = 32500

Hence, Mrs Sheela salary is equal to ₹32500
