Question

A man spends 3500rs and saves 12 1/2% of his income. His monthly income in rs is ?

Answer 1

spends=3500

saves=12.5%

spends in%=87.5

87.5% of 100=3500

12.5% of 100=?

3500/87.5*12.5=500

saves=500

income=3500+500=4000

Answer 2

His monthly income is Rs.4000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the income be x

A man spends 3500rs

So, Savings = x-3500

We are given that he saves 12 1/2% of his income.

So, His saving = $12\frac{1}{2}\%x=\frac{25}{2}\%x=12.5\%x=\frac{12.5}{100}x$

So, $x-3500=\frac{12.5}{100}x\\x-\frac{12.5}{100}x=3500\\\frac{87.5}{100}x=3500\\x=\frac{3500 \times 100}{87.5}\\x=4000$

Hence His monthly income is Rs.4000.
