A man spends 87% of his salary. If he saves ₹ 325; find his salary.

Given:

A man spends salary = 87 %

The man saves = ₹ 325

The man saves = (100 % - 87 %) = 13 %

Let of the man be $x$.

Hence,

13 % of the salary = ₹ 325

⇒ 13 % of $x$ = ₹ 325

⇒ $\dfrac{13}{100} \times x$ = 325

⇒ $\dfrac{13x}{100}$ = 325

⇒ $x = \dfrac{325 \times 100}{13}$

⇒ $x = \dfrac{32,500}{13}$

⇒ $x$ = ₹ 2,500

The salary of man = ₹ 2,500
