Question

Arun spent Rs.36000, which is 60% of his salary. Then find his salary.

• A. 60000
• B. 21600
• C. 2160
• D. 6000

Answer 1

The correct option is A 60000

Total money spent by Arun=Rs.36000
Percent of salary spent=60
Let the salary of Arun be X,
60% of X =Rs.36000
$\frac{60}{100}\times X=36000$
$60X=36000\times 100$
X=$\frac{3600000}{60}$
Therefore, X=Rs.60000

OR, here its given that 60%of X$\to$360000

So, 10%of X$\to$6000

$\Rightarrow$100%of X$\to$60000
