Three persons A, B, C whose salaries together amount to Rs.72,000 spend 80, 85 and 75 percent of their salaries respectively. If their savings are in the ratio 8:9:20, then A’s salary is ?
Explanation:
Let salaries are x,y,z with respect to A,B,C.
Saving of A=20%= 0.2x
Saving of B=15 %=0.15 y
Saving of C=25 %=0.25z
So 0.2x : 0.15y = 8/9 (given)
y = 1.5x
and 0.2x/0.25z = 8/20 (given)
z = 2x
in question given x+y+z=72,000
x + 1.5x + 2x = 72,000
4.5x = 72,000
x = 16,000
