Answer 2

Given:

Amount saved= Rs.220 per month

Amount spent=92% of monthly income

To find:

Monthly salary of the man

Solution:

The monthly salary of the man is Rs.2,750.

We can find the amount by following the given steps-

We know that the amount spent and saved forms the total amount of monthly income.

Let the total monthly salary be Rs. X.

The amount saved by the man=Rs.220 per month

The amount spent=92% of the total salary

=92% of X

If the man spends 92% of the total, he saves the remaining amount.

The amount saved= Total salary - the amount spent by the man

=X- 92% of X

=X-92X/100

=(100X-92X)/100

=8X/100

=8% of X

The amount saved=8% of X=220

8X/100=220

X=220×100/8

X=22,000/8

X=2,750

The total salary, X= Rs.2,750.

Therefore, the monthly salary of the man is Rs.2,750.
