Answer 1

Answer:

D) Rs. 2000

Step-by-step explanation:

expense on rent = 5000

expense on milk = 1500

expense on grocery = 4500

expense on education = 2500

expense on petrol = 2000

misc expenses = 2500

total expenses

= 5000 + 1500 + 4500 + 2500 + 2000 + 2500

= 18000

let the salary of Mr. Kishore be x

10% savings of salary = 10% x = 10/100 × x = 10x/100

$x = \frac{10x}{100} + 18000 \\ x - \frac{10x}{100} = 18000 \\ \frac{100x - 10x}{100} = 18000 \\ 90x = 18000 \times 100 \\ x = \frac{18000 \times 100}{90} \\ x = 200 \times 100 \\ x = 20000$

the salary of Mr. Kishore = 20,000

savings = 10% of salary

= 10/100 × 20000

= 10 × 200

= 2000

savings of Mr. Kishore = Rs. 2000
