Total salary of A and B
salary of A and B is equal. If A gets 65% allowance of his basse salary
and B
B gets 80% of his basic salary. Calculate the basic salary of A
basic salary of B is Rs.1100​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Basic salary of B is 1100,

B gets 80% allowance of his basic salary,

so, 1100 × 80/100

= 880

hence,total salary of B is 1100 + 880

= 1980.

As mentioned, total salary of A and B is equal,

so Total salary of A is Rs1980.

Now,let basic salary of A be x,

then , 65% of x = x × 65/100

= 13x/20

hence,Total salary = x + 13x/20 = 1980

= 20x+13x = 39600

= x = 39600/33

= x = 1200
