Question

A man saves rs 500 every month and spends 80% of his salary, find his monthly salary

Answer 1

Answer:

let the salary of man be Rs x

Saving every month =RS 500

Spends every month=80%of his salary=80%×x

Salary =Saving + Expenditure

x=500+80/100x

x=50000+80x/100

x×100=50000+80x

100x=50000+80x

50000=100x-80x

50000=20x

x=50000/20

x=2500

.: Salary of man=x=RS 2500
