Question

A man spends 76% of his monthly salary on the rent of his house. If every month he also spends ₹627 on his conveyance and ₹3,947 on his grocery and saves the remaining ₹712, his monthly salary is:​

A.

₹22,111

B.

₹22,025

C.

₹22,119

D.

₹22,023

Correct option is B

Given:

The man spends 76% of his salary on rent, ₹627 on conveyance, ₹3,947 on grocery, and saves ₹712.
We need to find his monthly salary (denoted as S).

Concept Used:

Total expenditure = Rent + Conveyance + Grocery + Savings
Solution:

Total Expenditure = 76% of S + Conveyance + Grocery + Savings
Total Expenditure = 0.76S + 627 + 3947 + 712
Let the salary be S.
The total expenditure will be the sum of rent, conveyance, grocery, and savings:
0.76S + 627 + 3947 + 712 = S
Simplifying the equation:
0.76S + 5286 = S
Rearranging:
S - 0.76S = 5286
0.24S = 5286
S = 5286 / 0.24
S = ₹22,025

The monthly salary is ₹22,025.
