Answer 1

Answer:

HERE COMES YOUR SOLUTION...!

Step-by-step explanation:

LET THE SALARY BE X.

SALARY SPENT ON RENT = X/2

SALARY SPENT ON TRANSPORT = X/3

SALARY SPENT ON ENTERTAINMENT = X/8

GIVEN THAT HE IS LEFT AFTER SPENDING = 820

X - X / 5 - X / 3 - X / 8 = 820

41X = 820 * 120

X = RS.2400
