Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Remaining savings deposited in the bank = ₹7200
Savings = 50% of his salary
Formula used:
Total Savings = Salary × 50%
Percentage of savings donated = 29% + 30% + 17% = 76%
Remaining savings = Total Savings × (1 - 76%)
Calculation:
⇒ Let the salary of Raja = x
⇒ Total Savings = x × 50% = 0.5x
⇒ Remaining Savings = Total Savings × (1 - 0.76)
⇒ 7200 = (0.5x) × 0.24
⇒ 7200 = 0.5x × 0.24
⇒ 7200 = 0.12x
⇒ x = 60000
∴ The salary of Raja is ₹60000, and the correct answer is option (4).
