Question

Pratap paid 20% of his salary as income tax. If he is left with 8560, after playing income tax, find his salary. ​

Answer 1

ANSWER :

Pratap's salary is 10700

EXPLANATION :

Let the salary be x

Percentage of salary paid by him = 20%

Percentage of salary left with him = 80%

It is given that he is left with 8560 after paying the tax,

ie, 80% of x = 8560

80x/100 = 8560

x=8560×100/80

x = 10700

Therefore his salary is 10700
