Find the percentage of salary left after spending on food:
Remaining = 100 - 10 = 90%
Find the percentage of salary left after spending on Transport:
Transport = 20% x 90% = .2 x 90% = 19%
Remaining = 90 - 18 = 72%
Find the salary:
72% = Rs 3600
1% = 3600 ÷ 72 = Rs 50
100% = 50 x 100 = Rs 5000
Answer: His salary is Rs 5000
PADMINI:
i don't understand why u minus 20 from 100 . while in the question food percentage is shown 10%
@knowledgeseekar Thank you for highlighting it. Corrected. :)
my pleasure :)
i think 0.2 x 90% = 18%. but you wrote there 19%
don't mind , i m just saying. jus change it to 18%
I am aware. But captain is holding on to the ticket. I have already asked for another edit but he is offline. So I will have to wait.

let his salary = 100 %
given spent on food = 10%
100 x 10% = 10
100 - 10 = 90
Given spent on transport 20% on remaining salary
90 x 20% = 18 .
total percentage of spending
10 + 18 = 28 % .
100 - 28 = 72% (Savings)
given savings = 3600.
if 72% = 3600
then 28% = ?
= 28 x 3600 ÷ 72
= 10800 / 72 = 1400.
total salary = 3600 + 1400 = 5000
hence , his salary = 5000.
