Question

Gulshan saves Rs. 8000 from his salary. If this is 40% of his salary, what is his salary?

Answer 1

Answer:

The salary of Gulshan is 20000 rupees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Gulshan saves 8000 rupees from his salary. Also, 8000 rupees constitute 40% of his salary.

Let Gulshan's salary be $x$. Since 40% of $x$ is 8000, we have

$\implies \dfrac{40}{100}x=8000$

On solving the equation,

$\implies 40 x= 8000\times 100\\\\\implies x= \dfrac{ 8000\times 100}{40} =20000$

So the salary of Gulshan is 20000 rupees.

Answer 2

60%+40%=rupee8000

60%=60/100×8000

60×80=4800

40%=40/100×8000=40×80=3200

3200+4800= 8000+12000

so totally,20000
