Study Notes
Salary and Savings
- Radha allocates her salary as follows: 40% on food, 20% on housing, 10% on entertainment, and 10% on conveyance.
- Her total expenses account for 80% of her salary, which leaves her with a saving of Rs. 1500.
- To find her monthly salary, the savings can be linked to the remaining 20%: 1500 equals 20% of her salary, leading to a calculated salary of Rs. 7500.
Income Distribution
- A parent divides his income where 20% goes to the elder son, 30% of the remaining amount to the younger son, and 10% of what is left is donated to a trust.
- After all distributions, he retains Rs. 10080.
- By back-calculating from the retained amount, the parent’s income can be determined.
Price Increase Calculation
- A headphone's price increases sequentially: first by 9.09%, then by 8.33%, and finally by 7.7%, culminating in a final price of Rs. 1274.
- To find the original price, these percentage increases must be reversed to compute back to the initial cost.
Employee Demographics
- In a company, 60% of employees are male, translating to 500 male employees.
- This implies that females make up 40% of the employee base, allowing for the total employee count to be derived from the male count.
Discount and Profit Calculation
- A store originally prices a product at Rs. 1000 and applies a 20% discount, which lowers the price to Rs. 800.
- To achieve a 25% profit margin on the cost price, the new selling price must be calculated considering the desired profit relative to the cost.
