Question

A person spends 22% on fooding, 12% as house rent and donate 25% to a charity. He saves rs.14350. Find his salary.

Answer 1

Let his salary be ₹x
Money spend on food= 22% of x = 22/100×x=₹ 22x/100

Money spend on house rent = 12% of x= 12/100×x=₹ 12x/100

Money spend on donating= 25% of x= 25/100×x =₹ 25x/100

Money saved= salary- total maney spend = x - (22x/100 + 12x/100 + 25x/100)

But money saved =₹14350

i.e. x - (22x/100 + 12x/100 + 25x/100) = 14350

x - {(22x + 12x + 25x)/100} =14350

x - 59x/100 = 14350

(100x - 59x)/100 = 14350

41x/100 =14350

41x = 14350× 100

41x = 1435000

x = 1435000/41

x = 35000

Salary of the man = ₹x = ₹35000
