SSC CHSL - 09 Aug 2023 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q67

Aastha spends 15% of her total income on travelling and 20% of the rest income on food and then donates ₹380 and after that, she saves ₹2,000. Find her total income (in ₹).

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 3,500.

Let the total income of Aastha be 100x.

According to the given question,

(100x × 85/100 × 80/100) - 380 = 2000

⇒ 68x = 2380

⇒ x = 35

Now, total income = 100x

⇒ 100 × 35 = 3500
