Question

Mayank saves ₹4000 from his salary. If this is $20\%$ of his salary, find his salary.

Answer 1

Mayank saves ₹4000 from his salary, which is 20% of his salary.
Let Mayank’s salary be ₹$x$

It is given that

$20\%ofx=4000$

$\frac{20}{100}\times x=4000$

$\frac{x}{10}=2000$

$x=2000\times 10=₹20000$

Therefore, Mayank’s salary is ₹20,000.
