A person saves Rs. 100/- after spending from his income 1/5 on food and 3/5 on clothes. What is total income ?

Answer 1

Part of Income spent on food=1/5
Part of income spent on clothes=3/5
Remaining part(Money Saved)=1-1/5-3/5
=1-4/5
= 1/5
Let the total money be x
According to the question,
1/5 of x=Rs.100
x/5=Rs.100
x=Rs.500

Therefore his income is Rs.500
