Question

7. Mrs. Sharma saves 15% of her salary and spends the rest. If she spends *13260, find her salary.​

Answer 1

To determine Mrs. Sharma's total salary, we divide her spending of ₹13260 by 85 to find 1% of her salary, which is ₹156. Then, we multiply this by 100 to get her full salary, which is ₹15,600.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mrs. Sharma spends 85% of her salary if she saves 15%. Given that she spends ₹13260, we can calculate her salary using the following steps:

1. Recognize that spending amounts to 85% of her total salary. Hence, ₹13260 represents 85% of her salary.
2. Compute 1% of her salary by dividing the expenditure by 85, i.e., ₹13260 / 85.
3. Finally, find 100% of her salary by multiplying the value of 1% by 100.

The calculations are as follows:

1. 1% of salary = ₹13260 / 85 = ₹156
2. Total salary = 100% of salary = ₹156 × 100 = ₹15,600
