From the monthly income, A spends 24% on household expenses, 16% on entertainment, 12% on education and saves the rest. Ifsavings are ₹ 3,288, the monthly income of A is:
Total percentage spent on household expenses, entertainment, and education is $$24\% + 16\% + 12\% = 52\%$$.
Therefore, the percentage of income left as savings is $$100\% - 52\% = 48\%$$.
Let the monthly income be $$x$$ rupees. Then $$48\%$$ of $$x$$ equals the given savings:
$$0.48x = 3288$$ $$-(1)$$
To find $$x$$, divide both sides of $$(1)$$ by $$0.48$$:
$$x = \frac{3288}{0.48}$$
Rewrite the denominator as a fraction to simplify:
$$0.48 = \frac{48}{100} \Rightarrow x = 3288 \times \frac{100}{48}$$
Compute the product:
$$x = \frac{328800}{48}$$
Divide numerator by denominator:
$$48 \times 6850 = 328800 \quad\Rightarrow\quad x = 6850$$
Hence, A’s monthly income is ₹ 6,850.
Option D which is: ₹ 6,850
