Question

Atul saved 15% of his income every month, thus saving Rs.72,000 in the
past year. Find his monthly income.

Answer 1

Answer:

Atul's monthly income = Rs.40000

Step-by-step explanation:

Atuls past years savings = Rs.72000

=> Atul's savings per month = Rs.72000/12

                                               = Rs.6000

which is 15% of his monthly income,

so, if taken, x be the monthly income,

then we say,

(15/100) * x = Rs.6000

=> x = Rs.6000 * (100/15)

=> x = Rs.400*100

=> x = Rs.40,000

ie., Atul's monthly income = Rs.40000
