Answer 1

Similar question:

Ram spends 30% of his salary on house rent, 30% of the rest he spends on his children's education and 24% of the total salary he spends on clothes. After his expenditure, he is left with Rs. 2500. What is Ram's salary?

Let Ram's salary be x.

He spends on rent = 30% of x = 30x/100.

He spends on education = 30% from rest of the salary= (30*70x)/(100*100) = 21x/100.

He Spends on clothes = 24% of total salary = 24x/100.

Saving = 2500.

Salary of ram = x.

(30x/100) + (21x/100) + (24x/100) + 2500 = x.

(75x/100) = x-2500.

75x = 100x-250000.

Or, 100x-77x = 250000.

Or, x = 250000/25.

Or, x = 10000.

Ram's salary = Rs. 10000.
