Answer 1

Answer:

Rs.15000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total salary be x

Amount used to pay,

House rent=x/3

School fee=x/4

Other expenses=3x/8

Saves=625

(x/3+x/4)+3x/8+625=x

(4x+3x)/12+3x/8=x-625

7x/12+3x/8=x-625

(14x+9x)/24=x-625

23x=24(x-625)

23x=24x-15000

15000=24x-23x

x=15000

So, Shyam's total salary is Rs.15000
