Answer 1

Answer:

48000 Rs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, Raman's salary be x rs

A.T.Q

Money he spent for household expenses = 4x/5

Money he spent on tours = x/8

Money Left to him = x-(4x/5)-(x/8) = 3600

On taking LCM,

(40x-32x-5x)/40 = 3600

3x = 3600*40

X = 1200*40

X = 48000

Raman's salary = 48000RS

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let Raman salary be x

Household expenses =$\frac{4}{5} x=0.8x$

Tour expenses =$\frac{1}{8} x=0.125 x$

Savings =3600

Total expenses=$0.8x+0.125 x=0.925 x$

Saving is

$x-0.925x=3600\\0.075x=3600\\x=48000$

Raman salary was 48000
