Anand spends one fourth of his salary on food grains and half of the remaining on house rent if the balance with him is rupees 300 what is the salary?
Answers
Answer:
Salary of Anand is ₹ 800
Step-by-step explanation:
Let , the salary of Anand be ₹ x
Therefore , amount of money spent on food grains = x × 1/4 = 1x/4 ( one fourth of his salary )
Remaining amount of money = x - 1x/4
=> 4x - 1x / 4
=> 3x / 8
Therefore , remaining amount of money = ₹ 3x / 8
He pays half of the remaining amount of money on house rent
Therefore , amount of money left
= 3x / 4 × 1 / 2
=> 3x / 8
Therefore , amount of money he pays for rent
= 3x / 4 - 3x / 8
=> 6x - 3x / 8
=> 3x / 8
Therefore , according to problem
3x / 8 = ₹ 300
=> 3x = 300 × 8
=> x = 300 × 8 / 3
=> x = ₹ 800
Therefore , salary of Anand = ₹ 800
