Answer 2

Answer:

below is your answer

hope it helps you thanks

Step-by-step explanation:

let income be x

10%of x is x/10

x-x/10=9x/10 ( remaining income)

now 80% of remaining is 80/100× 9x/10 =72x/100

now after spending on food and clothing 180 rs still remains ,so

x -x/10-72x/100=180

100x-10x-72x=180×100

18x=18000

x= 1000

total income 1000 rs

To verify

x/10=1000/10=100

72x/100=72000/100=720

x =x/10 +72x/100+180

x=100+720+180=1000

hence proved
