Let the salary of the may be Rs. x.
20% of a man’s salary is paid as rent, 60% are his living expenses and 10% are his savings.
He spends remaining Rs. 30 on the education of his children.
So, the percentage of salary spent on education = 100 – (20 + 60 + 10) = 10
Now we can write,
x × (10/100) = 30
⇒ x = 3000/10
⇒ x = 300
∴ the salary of the man = Rs. 300.
