Ram spends 70% of his salary and deposits 15 % of his salary in the bank. If he is left with Rs. 1500, what is his monthly salary?

10000

Let Ram's monthly salary be ₹$x$.

• He spends 70% of his salary.
• He deposits 15% in the bank.

So, the amount left is:

$100\% - 70\% - 15\% = 15\%$

Given that 15% of his salary = ₹1500.

$0.15x = 1500$

$x = \frac{1500}{0.15} = 10000$
