Question

a worker spent 3/4 of his uniform allowance on two pairs of shoes , 1/2 of the reminder on a shirt and was left with rupees 750 .what was his uniform allowance?​

Answer 1

Answer:

2000

Step-by-step explanation:

let uniform allowance be x,

now

according to the question

worker spent on two pairs of shoes is 3/4 x

remaining is 1/4x

worker spent on shirt is 1/2(3/4 x)

now

x-(3/4 x) -(1/2(3/4 x))=750

x-(5/8 x) =750

x(1-(5/8))=750

x × (3/8)=750

x=750*8/3

x=2000
