Question

A man spent 58% of his income and the amount of money left was $210 .Find his income.

Answer 1

Explanation:

First, subtract 58% from 100% to get 42%. That means $210 is 42% of this man's income.

Then, convert 42% into a fraction. This would be 21/50. Find the reciprocal of that, which is 50/21.

Now, multiply 50/21 by 210 to get the answer.

(50 * 210)/21

Multiply 50 by 210 to get 10500.

10500/21

(105/21) * 100 is the same as 10500/21.

Divide 105 by 21 to get 5.

5 * 100

Multiply 5 by 100 to get 500.

The man has a $500 income.
