Mr Aslam spends 1/3 of his salary on personal affairs, then gives half of the remaining amount for household purpose and finally he invested 75% of final remaining amount for emergency. If he has 1000 in hand now, what is his total salary?

Answer 1

How?

Answer 3

has S
then (2/3) S
then (2/6) S
then (1/4) (2/6)S

so
S/12 = 1000

S = 12,000

Answer 4

Right so 1/3 of his income goes on personal affairs leaving 2/3 left. He uses half of this (1/3) on household which leaves 1/3 left. He then invests 75% of the remaining 1/3 leaving 25% of that 1/3 in his hand. (1/3) x 0.25 = 0.083. So 8.33% of his initial salary equals the 1000 he now has. 100/8.33=12 and 1000*12= 12,000
