Answer 2

Given:

A man spends 25% of his income on house rent 45% of his income on food, and 40% of the balance on conveyance. If he is left with rs. 540.

To find:

The income of the man.

Solution:

Let the income of the man is 100 rupees.

He spends 25% of his income on house rent and 45% of his income on food.

So, the total expenditure is 25+45=70%.

The remaining amount is 100-70=30.

He spends 40% of the balance on conveyance.

So, he spends 30×40/100=12 on conveyance.

Now he has 100-70-12=18 rupees.

18 rupees is equal to 540 rupees.

So, 100 rupees is equal to 540×100/18=3000.

The income of the man is 3000 rupees.
