Question
Person P allocated 35% of his
salary to his son for school fees. From the remaining amount, he saved 40% in his bank account. The total of the amount he saved in the bank and the amount he gave to his son was Rs 87,840. What was Person P's total salary?Solution
ATQ, Let the salary of P be 'a' Amount given to his son = a×35/100 = 7a/20 Remaining amount = a - 7a/20 = 13a/20 Amount kept in bank = (13a/20)×40/100= 13a/50 So, 13a/50 + 7a/20 = 87840 or, 26a+35a/100 = 87840 or, 61a = 87840×100 or, a = 8784000/61 a = Rs.144000
