Pls show the steps also .​

Answer 1

Answer:

X = 6,667 ( approx )

Explanation -

Income = Savings + Expenditure

Let income be X

According to the question, saving is 25% of income

Therefore savings = X x 25/100

                               = 25X/100

Substitute in the above formula

X = 25X/100 + 5000

Cross-multiply and you get

X = (25X + 500000) / 100

100X = 25X + 500000

100X - 25X = 500000

75X = 500000

X = 500000/75

X = 6,666.6

X = 6,667 ( approx )
