Varsha spends 55% of her monthly income on grocery, clothes and education in the ratio of 4:2:5 respectively. If the amount spent on clothes is rs 5540, what is varshas monthly income?

Answer 1

Answer:

55400

Step-by-step explanation:

let the monthly income be x

55% of x = 55x / 100

= 11x / 20

let the income spend on clothes be 2y

income spend on grocery be 4y

income spend on education 5y

but we are given income spend on clothes is 5540

2y = 5540

y = 2770

income spend on grocery = 4 *2770

= 11080 income spend on education = 5 * 2770

=13850

55% of x = 5540 + 11080 + 13850

11x / 20 = 30470

x = 55400
