Question

A man spend 10% of his income on food and 80% of his income on clothing. If he has still a balance of Rs 1800 find his income

Answer 1

Answer:

Total Income =  Rs 18,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let his income be y

So, food expenditure is 10% .

Clothing expenditure is 80%.

So, remaining percentage is (100 - (80  + 10))%  = 10%

So, 10 % of y = 1800.

Or $\frac{10}{100}   \times   y = 1800$

or y  = 1800 x 10 = 18,000.

So, total income of the man is Rs 18,000.
