Question

Punit's father gave 1/3 of his salary to his mother. She gave 1/3 of her money to punit. If punit spent 2/3 of the given money and lefft with rupess 1200 find his father salary

Answer 1

Given,

Punit's father gave 1/3 of his salary to his mother.

She gave 1/3 of her money to punit.

If punit spent 2/3 of the given money and left with rs. 1200

To find,

The salary of Punit's father.

Solution,

Let,the salary of Punit's father = rs. x

[Assume, x as a variable to do the further mathematical calculations.]

Punit's mother got = x × 1/3 = rs. x/3

Punit got = x/3 × 1/3 = rs. x/9

Punit spent = x/9 × 2/3 = rs. 2x/27

Leftover money of Punit = x/9 - 2x/27 = 3x-2x/27 = rs. x/27

Now,if we compare the values of leftover money of Punit that is given in the question and the leftover money of Punit that we have calculated, then we will get the following mathematical equation;

x/27 = 1200

x = 1200×27

x = 32400

Hence,the salary of Punit's father is rs. 32400
