Question

a person's remaining income after tax is 3000.
tax rate is 25% .how much amount did he paid as tax.????

Answer 1

let the total income be n

when the tax takes tax take 25% of the income, 3000 are left

thus n - 25% of n = 3000

can you find n now ?

Answer 2

12000

Answer 3

how did you get that ?

Answer 4

i got that from your solution... am i rite...?

Answer 5

n = 3000*100/25

Answer 6

you are missing the first n in the equation

it is

n - (25/100)n = 3000

Answer 7

then am i rite... n=3000+25/100

Answer 8

you missed the second n now,

you have to take n as a common factor
n - (25/100)n = 3000
n(1 - 0.25) = 3000

Answer 9

any good formula for solving such question...

Answer 10

in other approach

when we pay 25% of n, we are left with 3000

thus 3000 = 75% of n

can you get n now ?
