Question

Steven spends 70% of his salary and saves the rest.If he saves ₹1500,what is his monthly salary?
​

Answer 1

Answer: 5000 rupees is his salary

Step-by-step explanation:

if 30% = 1500

First find out what is 1% by dividing then multiply it by 100 to find the answer.

Then, 1% will be 30/30 = 1

And since, we have 30 with 30 we will divide 1500 by 30.

So, 1500/30 = 50 ruppes

Now, 30% = 1500 = 1% = 50

so 100% will be 50 * 100 = 5000

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

Answer:

₹5000

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that Steven spends 70% of his salary

so we can say that he saves 30% of his of his salary. (100%-70%=30%)

we are also given the amount of money he saves is ₹1500

so 30% of his salary = 1500

30/100 × X = 1500

X = 1500 × 100/30

X=5000

Therefore Steven's total salary is ₹5000
