Question

Rohit deposits 12% of his income in a bank. He deposited Rs. 1440 in the bank during 1997. What was his total income for the year 1997?

Answer 1

Deposit in the bank =Rs.1440

Percentage =12% of his total income

Let his total income =Rs. x

Then 12% of $x=1440\Rightarrow \frac{12}{100}\times x=1440$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{1440\times 100}{12}=12000$

$\therefore$ Total income for the year 1997 =Rs. 12000
