A girl spent 32% of her monthly income on clothing. Of the remaining, she spent on travel and food in the ratio of 5:3. If the difference of the income spent on travel and food is Rs.1224, then find her monthly income.
Let her income be 100%. Remaining income = (100 - 32)% = 68% Let the money spent on travel and food be Rs. 5x and Rs. 3x respectively. Now, according to question, => 5x – 3x = 1224 => x = 612 Total money spent on travel and food together = 8x = 4896 => 68% --- 4896 => 100% ----- 7200 Therefore her income is Rs. 7200.
