The man's income is Rs. 8000. He has been left with 95 percent of his income = Rs. 7600.
What are percentages?
Percentages are fractional values where the total amount is taken as 100.
25% of a quantity means 25/100 of that quantity.
How to solve the given question?
In the question, we are informed that after paying 5% of income, a man is left with Rs. 7600.
We are asked to find his income.
We are given that a man pays 5% of his income, so he will be left with (100-5)% = 95% of his income as percentages are taken over a total of 100.
We assume the man's total income to be Rs. Y.
∴ We can say that the man is left with 95% of Y.
We know the man is left with Rs. 7600. So we can write this case as:
95% of Y = 7600
or, 95/100 of Y = 7600
or, (95/100)*Y = 7600
or, Y = (7600*100)/95 = 760000/95 = 40000/5 = 8000.
∴ The man's income is Rs. 8000. He has been left with 95 percent of his income = Rs. 7600.
