A man saves 18% of his monthly income.

Question:

A man saves 18% of his monthly income. If he saves Rs 3780 per month, what is his monthly income?

Solution:

Let Rs $x$ be his monthly income.

His savings $=18 \%$ of Rs $\mathrm{x}$

$=\operatorname{Rs}\left(x \times \frac{18}{100}\right)$

$=\operatorname{Rs} \frac{9 x}{50}$

Now, $\frac{9 x}{50}=3780$

$\Rightarrow x=\mathrm{Rs}\left(3780 \times \frac{50}{9}\right)$

$\Rightarrow x=\mathrm{Rs} 21000$

$\therefore$ His monthly income is Rs. 21000 .
