Ques - A spends 24% on domestic expenditure, 16% on entertainment  12% on education and saves the remaining. If saving is Rs. 3288  then what will be monthly income of A? (SSC CPO 2018, 14.03.2019 Shift-2)

(a) Rs. 6,654

(b) Rs. 6,480

(c) Rs. 6,323

(d) Rs. 6,850

SOlution - A spends on domestic expenditure = 24%

A spends on entertainment = 16%

A spends on education = 12% 

Total expenditure = 24% + 16% + 12%

                              = 52%

therefore,

Total saving = 100% - 52% 

                     = 48%

A/c

A's saving = 3288

48% = 3288

1% = 3288/48

1% = 68.5

so,

100% = 6850

Hence,

A's monthly income is (d) 6850.
