Question

Anil spent 1/4 of his monthly income on food, 2/5 on other expenses and 1/6 of his monthly income for the education of orphan children. if he was left with 10,000 find his monthly income.

Answer 1

hi there!
Let the monthly income be x

All money and left money must combine to get the amount x. So,

1/4x +2/5x + 1/6x + 10000= x

implies

15x + 24x + 10x - 60x = -600000 (multiplied equation by 60 on both sides)
implies

-11x = - 600000
implies

x= 55,555.5

that's his monthly income


hope it is correct and helps!
