      Solution

      ATQ, Let salary = S Activity A = 20% of S = 0.2S Remaining = 0.8S Activity B = 70% of 0.8S = 0.56S Savings = S − (Activity A + Activity B) = S − (0.2S + 0.56S) = S − 0.76S = 0.24S Difference between savings and Activity A: 0.24S − 0.2S = 0.04S Given: 0.04S = 1600 ⇒ S = 1600 ÷ 0.04 = 40,000
