Out of his total income, Rajiv spends 10%on transport , 60% on household and 5% on medicines. If he saves rupees 5000 what is his total income?
Pls don't give the answers in queries
lets say that rajiv's income is x
income spent on transport = 10% of x = 10/100 x x = x/10
income spent on household = 60% of x = 60/100 x x = 3x/5
income spent on medicines = 5% of x = 5/100 x x = x/20
total money spent = x/10 + 3x/5 + x/20
= (2x + 12x + x)/20 = 15x/20
money he saves = Rs. 5000
:- x - 15x/20 = 5000
(20x - 15x)/20 = 5000
5x/20 = 5000
5x = 5000 x 20
5x = 100000
x = 100000/5
x = 20000
thus rajiv's salary if Rs. 20000
hope i helped.!!
