Question

Hamid deposited 1/4 of his salary in a bank .Then he spent R.S 3000 and found that he was left with 7/12 of his salary .Find his salary?

Answer 1

Answer: His salary is Rs 6000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let his salary be x

spent money = Rs 3000

Left money = x - Rs 3000

also = 7/12 of x

so,

x - Rs 3000 = 7/12 of x

or,x - 3000 = 7x/12

or, 12(x-3000) = 7x

or, 12x - 36000 = 6x

or, 12x = 6x+36000

or, 12x - 6x = 36000

or, 6x = 36000

or, x = 36000/6

so, x = 6000
