Arvind gives half of his monthly salary to his wife for household expenses. He spends ₹2,500 on his personal expenses. The saving he manages per month is 3/7 of his monthly salary. What is Arvind’s per month salary?
Let the monthly salary of Arvind = a
According to the problem,
Total expenses of Arvind = $$\frac{a}{2}+2500$$
Savings of Arvind = $$\frac{3}{7}$$ of monthly salary
$$\Rightarrow$$ $$\frac{3}{7}a=a-\left(\frac{a}{2}+2500\right)$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ $$\frac{3}{7}a=a-\frac{a}{2}-2500$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ $$\frac{3}{7}a=\frac{a}{2}-2500$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ $$\frac{a}{2}-\frac{3}{7}a=2500$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ $$\frac{7a-6a}{14}=2500$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ $$a=2500\times14$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ $$a=35000$$
$$\therefore\ $$Arvind's monthly salary = ₹35,000
