and spends 30% of the remaining amount on groceries If the cash in

Ruchika Gupta · Accepted Answer

Let his salary be x,
He 
credits 15% of his salary in his fixed deposits so credit amount
= 15x/100
So remaining amount = x - 15x/100

Amount spent on grocerie =30[x-(15x/100)]/100
Amont he is left with = 2380
Finally the total amount will be equal to his salary x so,
x = 15x/100 + 30(x - 15x/100) + 2380
x=4000

Ramesh credits 15% of his salary in his fixed deposits account and spends 30% of the remaining amount on groceries. If the cash in hand is Rs.2380, what is his salary?
