If Saloni's monthly income is Rs 75,000, how much money (in Rs) does she spend on Rent and Education?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 41,250.
Let the salary of Saloni be 100x
Money spent on rent and education = (30% + 25%) of 100x = 55x
According to the question;
⇒ 100x = 75000
⇒ x = 750
Now,
Money spent on rent and education = 55x = 55 × 750 = 41250
