Mr. A spent 25% of his income on food, 10% on children education, 40% of the remaining he spent on entertainment and transport together and 30% on medical. He is left with an amount of Rs. 7800 after all the expenditure. What is Mr. A's monthly income? |
40,000 45,000 30,000 35,000 |
40,000 |
Let total income = Rs. P i) Total expenditure on food and Children education = 25 + 10 = 35% Thus, ⇒ Remaining amount = P × 65% ii) Total expenditure on Entertainment, transport and medical = 40 + 30 = 70% of remaining (i.e P × 65%) Thus, ⇒ Remaining amount = (P × 65%) × 30% ATQ, ⇒ (P × 65%) × 30% = 7800 ⇒ (P × 1%) × 1% = 4 ⇒ P = 40,000/- |
