After spending 20% of his salary on grocery and 30% of the remainder on monthly house rent, a man is left with ₹8,400. What is his monthly salary?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Let Salary of Men = 100x
Expenditure on Grocery = 20% of 100x = 20x
Remaining = 100x - 20x = 80x
Expenditure on house rent = 30% of 80x = 24x
According to question ,
100x - 20x - 24x = 56x
56x = 8400
x = 150
Salary of Men = 100 × 150 = 15000
