salary she gave to her mother. If the amount spent on clothes and groceries
together was Rs. 12000, what was the amount she gave to her mother?
1) Rs. 42,000 2) Rs. 14,000 3) Rs. 35,000 4) Rs. 28,000
5) Rs. 21,000

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 28000

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

30 % of her salary = Rs. 12000

So, 1 % of her salary = Rs. 12000/30 = Rs. 400

Now, the percentage of her salary that she gave = 100% - 30% = 70%

So, 70% of her salary = Rs. 400 × 70 = Rs. 28000

Answer 2

Answer:

₹28000

Step-by-step explanation

Let suppose the salary of Ms. Meneka as = x

she spent on groceries and clothes = ₹12000

=30% of x = ₹12000

=30/100 × x = ₹12000

x = ₹12000 × 100/30

x =₹40000

so her salary is ₹40000

remaining money gave to her mother = 100%-30% = 70%

= 70% of ₹40000

= 70/100 × ₹40000

= ₹28000
