Q5 of 16 Page 98

Sameera spent 90% of her income and donated 3% for socially useful causes. If she left with Rs. 1750 at the end of the month, what was her actual income?

Given,

Let Sameera’s income be Rs x.


Then, amount she spends = 90% of x


Donations by Sameera = 3% of x


Remaining amount = 100 – (90 + 3)% of x


And, the remaining amount = Rs. 1750


Here, 7% of x = Rs 1750


⇒


⇒


⇒ x = Rs 25,000


∴ her monthly income is Rs. 25,000.
