    Solution

    Let the monthly salary of the man be Rs. ‘x’. Money spent on rent and transportation = (25 + 11)% of x = Rs. 0.36x Remaining money = (x – 0.36x) = Rs. 0.64x Money spent on food and entertainment = (28 + 43)% of 0.64x = Rs. 0.4544x Remaining money left = 0.64x – 0.4544x = 0.1856x So, 0.1856x = 3712 x = Rs. 20000
