Sudha decided to donate 12% of her monthly income to an orphanage. On the day of donation, she changed her decision and donated a sum of ₹3,600, which was equal to 60% of what she had decided earlier. What is her monthly income (in ₹)?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. ₹50,000.
Let income = ₹x
Planned donation = 12% of x = 0.12x
Actual donation = 60% of 0.12x = ₹3600
0.072x = 3600
x = 3600/0.072 = ₹50,000
