Step-by-step explanation:

Statement of the given problem,

Ram set aside 10% of his salary for Savings if half of the remain after saving amount is 9000 what was his salary in rupees?

Let SL denotes Ram’s salary in rupees.

Hence from above data we get following relation,

(1/2)*(1 - 10/100)*SL = 9000

or (9/10)*SL = 18000

or SL = (10/9)*18000 = 20,000 (Rs) [Ans]
