Question

Tom's salary is $125\%$ of Tina's salary. Tanay's salary is $80\%$ of Tina's salary. The total of all the three salaries is Rs.$61,000$. What is Tanay's salary?

Answer 1

Suppose Tanay's salary$=x$

Tom's salary $=y$ and Tina's salary $=z$

$y=125\%$ of z $=\frac{5z}{4}$

$x=80\%$ of z $=\frac{4z}{5}$

$=z$ $=\frac{5x}{4}$

$y=\frac{5z}{4}=\frac{25x}{16}$

Also $x+y+z=61000$

$x+\frac{25x}{16}+\frac{5x}{4}=61000$

$=\frac{61x}{16}$

$x=16000$ and also $y=25000$ $z=20000$

hence, Tanya's salary is Rs $16000$
