and transportation, respectively. Out of the remaining money, he spends 30% on food and 45% on entertainment. If he saves Rs. 2805, then find his monthly salary.Solution
Let the monthly salary of the man be Rs. ‘x’. Money spent on rent and transportation = (20 + 12)% of x = Rs. 0.32x Remaining money = (x – 0.32x) = Rs. 0.68x Money spent on food and entertainment = (30 + 45)% of 0.68x = Rs. 0.51x Remaining money left = 0.68x – 0.51x = 0.17x So, 0.17x = 2805 x = Rs. 16500
