Question:

Anjali decided to spend 45% of her salary on shopping. On completion of her shopping, she realised that she bad spent only ₹11,475, which was 60% of what she had decided to spend. How much is Anjali's salary?

Options:

₹40,800

₹29,600

₹38,400

₹42,500

Correct Answer:

₹42,500

Explanation:

45% =  \(\frac{9}{20}\)  & 60% = \(\frac{3}{5}\)

45% of total amount to be spend = 111475

Total amount to be spend = 11475 × \(\frac{20}{9}\) = 25500

Total amount to be spend =  60% of Anjali's salary

Anjali salary = 25500 × \(\frac{5}{3}\) = 42500
