Total salary = 144000
savings percentage of A = 100-80=20%
savings percentage of B =100-85=15%
savings percentage of C = 100-75=25%
savings of A =8x
Savings of B= 9x
Savings of C = 20x
20% × A salary /100= 8x a's salary = 100/20×8x = 40x
15% × B salary /100= 9x b's salary = 100/15×9 x = 60x
25%of C salary /100= 20x c's salary = 100/25×20x = 80x
40x + 60x+ 80x = 144000
180x = 144000
x = 800
So C's salary = 80 × 800 = 64000
hope it helps
