Answer 5

Let her current salary be Rs. x
then she spends 20 % of x on her son' s education= \(\frac{20}{100}\times x=Rs\ 0.2x\)
Now she gets an increment of 170 next month, she will spend half of this ( 170/2=85) also on her son's education
so total she will spend =0.2x+85
and this is given as 645
\[0.2x+85=645\]
From this you'll find x which is her salary
Can you do this now?
