Answer 1

Answer:

A person donates 10% of his savings to a charitable trust. He distributes the rest among his three children equally. If the total savings of the person is ` 75,000, find the amount donated to the charitable trust. Also find the amount received by each child.

Answer 2

Given:

Total Savings = 75000

Donation to charitable trust = 10%

Remaining Balance will be distributed equally to his three children.

To Find:

The amount donated and the amount received by each child.

Solution:

• The Total Savings available to him : Rs. 75000
• 10% of the above savings will be donated to Charity.

∴ 10% of 75000 = Rs. 7500

∴ Remaining Balance:

= Total Savings - Donations

= 75000 - 7500

=  Rs. 67500

• The above balance will be distributed to his three children equally.
• So, the balance has to be divided by 3.

∴ Remaining Balance ÷ 3

= 67500 ÷ 3

= Rs. 22500

Thus, The amount donated towards charity will be Rs. 7500 and his children  will get Rs. 22500 each.
