Answer 1

Answer:

Gopal spends 25% of his income 0n rent,15% on education,45%on food and clothing if he still saves rupees 12000 per month find his monthly income.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s say his monthly income is x.

His expenses are:

Rent= 25% of x = .25x

Food= 30% of x = .30x

Other= 20% of x = .20x

Hence his total expense = .25x + .30x. + .20x = .75x.

His saving = Income - expense = x - .75x = .25x

So, .25x =15000

x = 15000 /.25 = 15000×100 / 25 = 60000

Hence Gopal monthly income is Rs 60000.

Answer 2

Answer:

the correct answer is 8000.

Step-by-step explanation:

he spends total = 25+15+45 = 85%

total money left = 15% = 1200.

let his income be x.

15/100 * x = 1200

3/20 * x = 1200

3x/20 = 1200

x = 1200 * 20 / 3

x = 400 *20

x = 8000

so Gopal's income is 8000
