Question

A man spends Rs.2210 and saves 15% of his income. Find his income.

Answer 1

Solution:

Let us assume that the total income of the man is Rs. X.

X= total money spend + savings

Savings= 15% of X = 15X/100

Then the equation we get from the problem:

2210 + 15/100 of X = X

221000 + 15X/100 = X

221000 + 15X = 100X

- 85X = -221000

X = 221000/85 = Rs. 2600.

Ans: Rs. 2600.
