Question

Geeta saves 18 % of her monthly salary if she spends 10250 per month what is her monthly salary

Answer 1

Let her monthly salary be x.

Given that she saves 18% of her monthly salary = (100 - 18)

                                                                                = 82%.

Given that she spends 10250 per month.

82x/100 = 10250

82x = 10250 * 100

82x = 1025000

x = 12500.


The monthly salary of Geetha is 12500.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Concept:

A percentage can be defined as a number or ratio that can be expressed in a fraction of 100.

Given:

Geeta saves her 18% salary and spends 10250 per month.

Find:

Monthly Salary of Geeta.

Solution:

Let, the monthly salary of Geeta be y.

She saves 18% of her monthly salary. So, the rest of the salary she spends.

So, percentage of salary spent, 100 - 18 = 82%

She also spends 10250 per month.

So, 82% of her salary will be 10250.

y × (82 / 100) = 10250

82y= 10250 × 100

82y  = 1025000

y  = 1025000/82

y = 12500

Hence, the monthly salary of the Geeta is Rs. 12500.
