Question

a man spends 10% of his income on food and 80% of the remaining income on clothing. if he still has a balance of rs 1800, find his income

Answer 1

given:

money spent = 90% of total ( 10% food+ 80% clothing)

thus, savings= 10% of total = 1800

thus, 10/100 total= 1800

=> 18000 is his income
