A man spends 30% of his salary on groceries, and is left with ₹3,500. Find his total salary.

Correct option is A

Given:

Percentage of salary spent on groceries = 30%

Amount left after spending = ₹3,500

Concept Used:

If a man spends 30% of his salary, he is left with 100%−30% = 70% of his salary.

Formula Used:

Amount left = $$\frac{70}{100}$$ × S 

Where, S be the total amount

Solution: 

Now, 

​$$\frac{70}{100}$$ × S = 3500 

S = 3500$$\times$$​$$\frac{10}7$$ 

S = 500 $$\times$$ 10

S = ₹5000
