Question

A and b's salaries together amount to rs. 2,000. A spends 95% of his salary and b spends 85% of his. If now their savings are the same, what is a's salary?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:let a's Salary be x

let's salary be y

so x+y=Rs. 2000

implies, x=2000-y   ........ equation 1

out of rs. 100, a saves=100-95=rs5

out of rs. x, a saves= x*(5/100) 

similarly, b saves= y*(15/100)

5x/100=15y/100

implies x=3y........ eqn 2

replacing x from eqn to eqn 2

2000-y=3y

4y=2000

y=500

x=1500

a's salary=rs 1500
