Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Spending on daily uses = 25%
Spending on house rent = 18%
Spending on travel = 16%
Saving = Rs. 861
Calculation:
Let total salary = a
25% = 1/4
18% = 9/50
16% = 4/25
⇒ a × 3/4 × 41/50 × 21/25 = 861
⇒ a = (861 × 50 × 25 × 4)/(3 × 41 × 21)
⇒ a = 5000/3
⇒ a = 1666(2/3).
The total salary is 1666(2/3).
