Varun decided to donate 5% of his salary. However, on the day of donation, he changed his mind and donated Rs. 3375, which was 75% of the figure he had decided to donate earlier. Find Varun’s salary. Correct Answer Rs. 90000

GIVEN:

Varun had decided to donate 5% of his salary

Varun finally donated Rs. 3375 which was 75% of the figure he had decided to donate earlier.

CALCULATION:

Let Varun’s salary be Rs x

He had decided to donate 5/100 × x

On the day of donation, he donated Rs 3375

According to the question,

75% of 5% of x = Rs 3375 

⇒ 75/100 × 5/100 × x = Rs 3375

⇒ x = (3375 × 100 × 100)/(75 × 5)

⇒ x = Rs. 90000
