Question

Metta saves $4000 from her salary . If this is 10% of her salary . What is her salary?

Answer 1

Answer :

$ 40000

Explanation:

10% of salary = $4000

10 % of x = $4000

10/100×x =$4000

1/10×x = $ 4000

x= 4000×10

Salary = $40000

Answer 2

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

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

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

$\longrightarrow\textrm{10x/100 = Rs. 4000}\longrightarrow\textrm{10x = Rs. 4000 \times 100 = Rs. 4,00,000}\longrightarrow\textrm{x = Rs. 40,000}$
