Question 72

Anjali decided to spend 45% of her salary on shopping. On completion of her shopping, she realised that she had spent only ₹11,475, which was 60% of what she had decided to spend. How much is Anjali's salary?

Solution

Let's assume Anjali's salary is 100y.

Anjali decided to spend 45% of her salary on shopping.

the initial decision of spending on shopping = 100y of 45%

= 45y

On completion of her shopping, she realised that she had spent only ₹11,475, which was 60% of what she had decided to spend.

So 45y of 60% = 11475

$$45y\times\frac{60}{100}=11475$$

27y = 11475

y = 425

Anjali's salary = 100y = $$100\times425$$

= ₹42,500
