    Solution

    ATQ, we can say that  Let the monthly salary of the Arvind will be 100x  Then, Expenditure on travelling and car fuel will be = 30% + 25%= 55% Remaining = 100 x (55/100) x (100x) = 100x – 55x = 45x (45x)  x (90/100) = 10125 x = 250 hence, the monthly salary of the Arvind will be = (100x) = (100 x 250)  =Rs.25000
