Answer 1

ashna spends 20% of her salary on food 10% on cosmetics and donates 3% in an orphanage

20 + 10 + 3 = 33% ....of total salary amounts to expenditure...

Amount spent in rupees for these= 495..

33% expenditure= 495rs..

then total salary = (495/33)×100 = 1500

Answer 2

Total spending in percentage:

20 + 3 + 10 = 33%

Find her salary:

33% = Rs 495

1% = Rs 15

100% = 15 x 100 = Rs 1500
