Answer 1

Hence, Kapil' s salary = Rs 16800

Step-by-step explanation:

$Suppose \: \: Kapil's \: \: salary \: \: is \: \: Rs \: \: x. \\ \\ Then \: \: amount \: \: of \: \: donation \: = \frac{25}{2}℅ \: \: of \: \: x \\ \\ = \frac{25}{2} \times \frac{1}{100} of \: Rs \: x \: = \: Rs \: \frac{x}{8} \\ \\ Balance \: \: amount = Rs \: ( x - \frac{x}{8} ) = Rs \: \frac{7x}{8} \\ \\ According \: \: to \: \: the \: \: question : \\ \\ \frac{7x}{8} = 14700 \: \: or \: \: x = \frac{14700 \times 8}{7} = 16800$
