Question

A farmer spends 30% of his earning of a month on buying seeds and deposits 15% of his earning in the bank. If he spent Rs 9000 on these two items, then his total earning of the month is

• A. $Rs.10.000$
• B. $Rs.20,000$
• C. $Rs.24,000$
• D. $Rs.25,000$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $Rs.20,000$

Let the total earning of farmer be $x$ Rs. Then,

$\frac{30}{100}x+\frac{15}{100}x=9000$

$\frac{45}{100}x=9000$

$x=\frac{9000\times 100}{45}$

$x=20,000Rs.$
