Question

A man spends 87 percent of his salary. If he saves $325,find his salary

Answer 1

Hi ,

Let the salary of the man = $ x

Saving percentage = 100 - 87 = 13

It is given that ,

Savings = $325

13% × x = $325

( 13/100 ) × x = 325

x = ( 325 × 100 )/13

x = 25 × 100

x = $ 2500

Therefore ,

Salary of the man = x = $ 2500

I hope this helps you.

Answer 2

It is given that man spends 87% of his salary,

It means he saves (100-87)% of his salary

He saves 13% of his salary.
---------------------------------------



Let the salary be x,

According to the question,

=> 13% of x = 325

=> 13/100 × x = 325

=> x = 325 ×100/13

=> x = 25×100.

=> x = 2500

Then,


Salary of man = $2500




I hope this will help you
