Question

Mohan is an awakened consumer. After shopping, he always takes the receipt. He also pays tax timely. He pays 20% of his salary as income tax. After paying income tax, he is left with 28,000.

a) Find his original salary.

b) How much amount does he pay as income tax?

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) Original salary of Mohan = 35000 Rs.

(b) Amount paid in tax = 5000 Rs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the salary of Mohan is x Rs.

Since he pays 20% of it as tax

Therefore, tax paid by Mohan

$=x\times \frac{20}{100}$

$=\frac{x}{5}$

Amount left with Mohan

$=x-\frac{x}{5}$

$=\frac{4x}{5}$

According to the question

$\frac{4x}{5}=28000$

$\implies 4x=28000\times 5$

$\implies x=28000\times \frac{5}{4}$

$\implies x=7000\times 5$

$\implies x=35000$

Thus, the original salary of Mohan = 35000 Rs.

Amount paid as income tax

$=\frac{35000}{7}$

$=5000$ Rs.

Hope this helps.
