Question

Gopi paid 25% of his salary as tax and spent 1/3 of his salary on groceries . the remaining amount of rs.2500 was his savings . find his salary and the tax amount paid​

Answer 1

Answer:

salary = rs.6,000

tax = rs. 1500

Step-by-step explanation:

25% = 25/100

       = 1/4

1 (100%) - 1/3 - 1/4 (25%) = 5/12

So, 5/12 = 2500

      1/12 = 2500/5

      1/12 = 500

Salary of Gopi = 12/12

                       = 12 x 500

                       = 6000

Tax = 25%

      = 1/4

      = 3/12

      =3 x 500

      = 1500

Answer 2

Given : Gopi paid 25% of his salary as tax and spent 1/3 of his salary on groceries .

the remaining amount of rs.2500 was his savings .

To  find :   his salary and the tax amount paid​

Solution:

Salary  = 300 S

Spend on tax =  (25/100)300S  =75S

Spent on grocery = (1/3)300S  = 100S

Remaining =  300S -  100S - 75S  =  125S

125S  = 2500

=> S = 20

Salary = 300 * 20  = Rs 6000

Spend on tax =  75S = 75 * 20  = Rs 1500
