Question

after spending 85% of his salary a man saves Rs1200 per month. What is his monthly salary?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let his salary be x

save % = (100 - 85 ) % = 15%

15% of x = 1200

x = 1200 × 100 /15

x = rs 8000

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the monthly salary be x.

Amount of money saved = rs 1200 (per month)

therefore,

salary saved by him = 85% of x

=85/100*x

= 0.85 x

Now, According to the given condition----

=> 0.85x + 1200 = x

= > x - 0.85x = 1200

=> 0.15x = 1200

=> x = 1200/0.15

=> x = 120000/15. // remove the decimal for easy

calculation

=> x = Rs 8000..... ans
