Money saved by Meera =Rs.400

Now according to the question,

$10\% \: of \: </strong><strong>x</strong><strong> = 400$

$\frac{10}{100} \times </strong><strong>x</strong><strong> = 400$

$\frac{</strong><strong>x</strong><strong>}{10} = 400$

$= > \: </strong><strong>x</strong><strong> = 4000$

Hence the salary of Meera is ₹ 4000 .

Answer 2

$\textrm{10 \% of Meeta Salary = Money saved by Meeta \quad ... According To Question}$

$\longrightarrow\textrm{10 \% \times x = Rs. 4000 \quad ... Considering Salary of Meeta be 'x'}$

$\longrightarrow\textrm{10/100 \times x = Rs. 4000 \quad ... Since a \% = a/100}$

$\longrightarrow\textrm{10x/100 = Rs. 4000}\longrightarrow\textrm{10x = Rs. 4000 \times 100 = Rs. 4,00,000}$
