Question

Radhika spent 1/2 of her salary paying instalment 1/3 on conveyance and gave the remaining money as donation. If she donated 500 how much money for d she get as her salary and how much did she spend on instalment.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount she had be X.

By question,

Expense on installments=1/2 of X= X/2.

Expense on conveyance=X/3.

Remaining money= x-{(X/2)+(X/3)}

= x-(5x/6)= X/6.

By question, this remaining amount was paid as donation and donation amount is Rs 500.

Therefore,X/6=500

Or,X=3000.

Therefore, her salary (X) is Rs 3000.

Now, expense on installments=X/2 =Rs 3000/2= Rs 1500

Answer 2

Answer:

let salary = x

1/2 part is spent by radika

so, x of 1/2 = x/2

remaining part = x/2

1/3 paid to conveyance instalment

remaining part = 2x/3

now remaining part donated

so ,

2x/3= 500

x = 1500/2

x= 750

750 ×3

= 2250

now double the spent =

2250×2=4500
