Question

Every month Rani gives 65% of her salary to her mother. She spends 15% of her salary and saves the remainder. She saves $130 more than what she spends. What is her monthly salary?

Answer 1

Total Salary given+Spent+Saving= 100%
65%+15%+Savings =100%
80%+Savings=100%
Savings=100%-80%=20%
Savings%-Spent%=$130
20-15=5%
5%of Salary =$130
5/100 * Salary = 130
Salary =130*100/5 =$2600

Answer 2

Find the percentage of salary saved:

Saved = 100 - 65 - 15 = 20%

Find the difference in salary saved and spent:

Difference in percentage = 20 - 15 = 5%

Difference in amount = $130

Find the monthly salary:

5% = $130

1% = 130 ÷ 5 = $26

100% = 26 x 100 = $2600

Answer: Her monthly salary is $2600
