Question

A man spends 9/10 of his monthly income on domestic affairs. He donates 30% of the balance
leaving a balance of ₹ 1,750 as saving. Find out his monthly income. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

25,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total income be ₹x

Now, the man spends 9/10 of his income on domestic affairs.

So, the amount spent on domestic affairs = ₹ 9x/10

Remaining amount = ₹ (x - 9x/10) = ₹ x/10

Now, of this remaining amount, 30% is donated.

Amount donated = ₹ (30/100 * x/10) = ₹ 3x/100

Balance amount = ₹ 1750

MODIFIED PART

Amount spent on domestic affairs + Amount donated + Balance = Total income

9x/10 + 3x/100 + 1750 = x

90x + 3x + 175000 = 100x (Taking LCM and cross multiplying)

93x + 175000 = 100x

100x - 93x = 175000

7x = 175000

x = 175000/7

or x = ₹25,000.

Therefore, total income is ₹ 25,000.
