154410 |
15% = \(\frac{3}{20}\) , 60% = \(\frac{3}{5}\) Let the person income = 100x Expenditure on rent = \(\frac{3}{20}\) × 100x = 15x Expenditure on household expenses = \(\frac{3}{5}\) × 85x = 51x Saving = 100x - 15x - 51x = 34x ATQ, 34x = 52500 x = \(\frac{52500}{34}\) = 1544.1174 100x = 100 × 1544.1174 = 154411.74 = 154410 (approx) |
