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?
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
