Kriti paid an EMI, which was 22% of her monthly salary
She spent the remaining salary on shopping of groceries and clothes in the ratio 7 ∶ 5.
She spent Rs. 18,200 on shopping of clothes.
Formula used:
Income = expenditure + savings
Calculation
Let the income be x.
The amount given to Emi = 22x/100
= 11x/50
Remaining amount = 39x/50
Expense on clothing = 5/12 × 39x/50
= 13x/40
⇒ 13x/40 = 18,200
⇒ x = 1400 × 40
⇒ x = 56000
If, in February 2022, her salary increased by 16%:
⇒ 56000 × 116/100
⇒ 64960
Her salary (in Rs.) in February is 64960.
Alternate Method
Let the income be x.
⇒ x × 78/100 × 5/12 = 18200
⇒ x = 56000
Salary in February = 56000 × 116/100 = 64960.
