Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
House rent expenditure = 21% of monthly salary
Education expenditure = 14% of monthly salary
Entertainment expenditure = 13% of monthly salary
Savings = ₹5,408
Formula Used:
Total monthly salary = House rent expenditure + Education expenditure + Entertainment expenditure + Savings
Calculation:
Let the monthly salary be ₹x.
House rent expenditure = 0.21x
Education expenditure = 0.14x
Entertainment expenditure = 0.13x
Total monthly salary = 0.21x + 0.14x + 0.13x + 5408
⇒ x = 0.21x + 0.14x + 0.13x + 5408
⇒ x = 0.48x + 5408
⇒ x - 0.48x = 5408
⇒ 0.52x = 5408
⇒ x = 5408 / 0.52
⇒ x = 10400
Shweta's monthly salary is ₹10,400.
