Given:
Benoyi donates 16% of his salary to an institution for the blind, 12% to the
orphans, and 13% to the organization of the handicapped, and gives 14% of his
salary as an aid in the establishment of a medical camp.
Calculation:
Let the total salary of Benoyi be Rs. x
Total Percentage of donated salary = 16 + 12 + 13 + 14 = 55%
According to the question
x × 45/100 = 20925
⇒ x = 20925 × 100/45
Now, We have to find the amount donate to the orphanage
x × 12% = x × 12/100
⇒ 20925 × 100/45 × 12/100
⇒ 5580
∴ The amount donated to the orphanage is Rs. 5580.
