Question

Karim spent 35000/= of his income and serves 12.5% of his income.find his income

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the total income of Karim be Rs. x

⇒ Expenditure + Savings = Income

⇒ 35000 + 12.5 % of x = x

⇒ 35000 = x - 12.5 % of x

⇒ 35000 = x - 12.5 x / 100

Taking LCM we get,

⇒ 35000 = 100 x - 12.5 x / 100

⇒ 35000 = 87.5 x / 100

⇒ x = 35000 × 100 / 87.5

⇒ x = 40,000

Hence the income of Karim is Rs. 40,000.
