Christy donated 10% of his income to an orphanage and deposited 20% of the remainder in his bank. If he has now Rs. 7200 left, what is his income.
-
- Rs. 10000
- Rs. 8000
- Rs. 9000
- Rs. 8500
Correct Option: A
Let Christy’s income = Rs. p
Amount given to orphanage = Rs. | 10 |
Remaining amount = Rs. | 10 |
Remaining amount after depositing in bank = 80% of | 10 |
= Rs. | × | 10 | 100 |
= Rs. | 25 |
According to the question,
= 7200 | 25 |
⇒ 18p = 25 × 7200
⇒ p = | = Rs. 10000 | 18 |
