    Solution

    Let her income be 100%. Remaining income = (100 - 32)% = 68% Let the money spent on travel and food be Rs. 5x and Rs. 3x respectively. Now, according to question, => 5x – 3x = 1224 => x = 612 Total money spent on travel and food together = 8x = 4896 => 68% --- 4896 => 100% ----- 7200 Therefore her income is Rs. 7200.
