Let Mary's monthly salary = Rs. $100x$
Money spent on EMI = $\frac{15}{100} \times 100x = 15x$

Amount left = $100x - 15x = 85x$

% amount left after paying internet bill and rent = $100 - (10 + 20) = 70 \%$
=> Amount left = $\frac{70}{100} \times 85x = 24,990$
=> $\frac{7 \times 17x}{2} = 24,990$
=> $x = \frac{24,990 \times 2}{7 \times 17}$
=> $x = 210 \times 2 = 420$

$\therefore$ Mary's monthly salary = $100 \times 42$ = Rs. $42,000$

Let the salary of marry be 100x

After paying 15% on emi she left with

15/100*100x=15x

100x-15x=85x

Now she paid 10% on internet and 20% aa rent

85x-85x*10%-85x*20%=24990

X=420

Salary =100*420=42000
