Answer 2

$\textrm{10 \% of Geeta Salary = Money saved by Geeta \quad ... According To Question}$

$\longrightarrow\textrm{10 \% \times x = Rs. 400 \quad ... Considering Salary of Geeta be 'x'}$

$\longrightarrow\textrm{10/100 \times x = Rs. 400 \quad ... Since a \% = a/100}$

$\longrightarrow\textrm{10x/100 = Rs. 400}\longrightarrow\textrm{10x = Rs. 400 \times 100 = Rs. 40,000}\longrightarrow\textrm{x = Rs. 4000}$
