Yukta's salary consists of her salary and tip. During one week her tips were (6/5)th of her salary. What fraction of her income came from the tip? Correct Answer 6/11

Given:

Tip is 6/5th of salary

Calculation:

Let the Yukta's salary in a week be Rs. x

Income by tip in one week = x × (6/5) = 6x/5

Total income in a week = x + (6x/5)

⇒ (6x + 5x)/5

⇒ 11x/5

Fraction of income from tip = (6x/5)/(11x/5)

⇒ 6/11

∴ 6/11 of his income came from tip.
