Question

An employee is required to contribute 10% of his pay to general provident fund. If he gets rs. 13500 as net pay in a month, then what is the monthly general provident fund contribution (assuming no other deduction)? In math

Answer 1

Answer:

Monthly provident fund contribution is Rs. 1500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the gross pay of the employee.

Given:

Net pay he got = Rs. 13500

Deduction = Gross pay - Net pay

Deduction = x - 13500..............(1)

But,

Deduction=10% of gross pay

Now, (1) becomes

10% of x= x - 13500

$\frac{10}{100}*x=x-13500$

$\frac{x}{10}=x-13500$

$x=10x-135000$

$135000=10x-x$

$135000=9x$

$x={135000}{9}$

$x=15000$

By (1)

Deduction =15000-13500

Deduction =Rs. 1500

That is, provident fund contribution is Rs. 1500
