Question

a man saves 1/5 of his total salary .if he spends 600 what is his total salary .​

Answer 1

Answer:

750

Step-by-step explanation:

let the salary be x

given that he saves 1/5 of x

and also that he had spent 600

therefore

(1-1/5)*x=600

x=600 *5/4

x=750

Answer 2

% of salary saved =1/5

Therefore, the % of salary spent = 4/5

let the salary of the man be x

If,

$80\% \: of \: salary = 600 \\ \implies80\% \: of \: x = 600 \\ \implies80x \div 100 = 600 \\ \implies \: x = 750$

Therefore, the man earns a living of Rs. 750.

Extra knowledge:

% of money spend by him + % of money saved = 100% or total money earned by that man
