Rita spends [tex]$\frac{1}{4}$[/tex] of her income on food, [tex]$\frac{3}{10}$[/tex] of the remainder on house rent, and [tex]$\frac{5}{21}$[/tex] of the remainder on the education of children. [tex]$\frac{1}{4}$[/tex] of the remaining income is spent on other household expenses. She is still left with ₹9000 as savings.

Answer the following question based on the above situation:

1. If savings are [tex]$\frac{3}{10}$[/tex] of her total income, what is her income?



Answer :

To find Rita's total income, we need to follow these steps:

1. Understand the relationship between savings and income:
We are told that Rita's savings amount to ₹9000 and that this amount constitutes [tex]\(\frac{3}{10}\)[/tex] of her total income.

2. Set up the equation:
If we let [tex]\(I\)[/tex] represent Rita’s total income, then her savings, which are [tex]\(\frac{3}{10}\)[/tex] of her total income, can be written as:
[tex]\[ \text{savings} = \frac{3}{10} \times I \][/tex]

3. Substitute given values:
Substitute the known value of the savings (₹9000) into this equation:
[tex]\[ 9000 = \frac{3}{10} \times I \][/tex]

4. Solve for [tex]\(I\)[/tex]:
To isolate [tex]\(I\)[/tex], multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of [tex]\(\frac{3}{10}\)[/tex], which is [tex]\(\frac{10}{3}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ I = 9000 \times \frac{10}{3} \][/tex]

5. Calculate the result:
Performing the multiplication gives:
[tex]\[ I = 30000 \][/tex]

So, Rita's total income is ₹30,000.
