Question

Mariam spends 3/4 of her monthly income on fooding and 1/7 on clothing. She saves R6000. What is her salary?

Answer 1

Answer:

56,000 is Mariam's salary

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' be Mariam's salary,

Money spent for food= 3x/4

Money spent for clothing= x/7

Saving= 6000

Hence x-(3x/4 + x/7)= 6000

x-3x/4-x/7=6000

(28x-21x-4x)/28=6000

3x=6000*28

x=(6000*28)/3

x=56,000
