Nikolai decides to donate 20% of her monthly income to a cow shelter trust. On the day of donation, she changes her decision and donates a sum of Rs. 4900, which is equal to 70% of what she decided to donate earlier. What is her monthly income (in Rs.)? Correct Answer Rs. 35000

Calculation:

Let Nikolai's monthly income be Rs. x

Then, she decides to donate 20% of Rs. x to a cow shelter trust

She wanted to denote Rs. 20x/100 = x/5

But actually, she donated 70% of this 20% of Rs. x

⇒ 70/100 × x/5

Which is equal to Rs. 4900

∴  = 4900

⇒ x = = 35000

∴ Nikolai’s monthly income is Rs. 35000.
