Answer:

She started with 26 boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

She started with x boxes. Then she bought 8 more boxes. Now she had x + 8 boxes. Then half the boxes were destroyed, so she has the other half of the boxes. Half of the boxes is (x + 8)/2. She has now 17 boxes, so (x + 8)/2 = 17.

(x + 8)/2 = 17

Multiply both sides by 2.

x + 8 = 34

Subtract 8 from both sides.

x = 26

She started with 26 boxes.

In a particular month, Ezhil spent one-fifth of her salary on shopping. Two-fifth of the remaining she gave to her sister. If sh
Oxana [17]

Answer:

Salary = Rs23000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shopping = \frac{1}{5}

Sister = \frac{2}{5}R

Left over = Rs11,040

Required

Her salary in that month

Given that she spent \frac{1}{5} of her salary on shopping, this implies that she has \frac{4}{5} of her salary left

From what's left, she gave her sister \frac{2}{5}

This means she gave her sister \frac{2}{5} * \frac{4}{5}

Sister = \frac{8}{25}

Calculating a fraction of what's left

Left over = 1 -Shopping - Sister

Left over = 1  - \frac{1}{5}- \frac{8}{25}

Left over = \frac{25 - 5 - 8}{25}

Left over = \frac{12}{25}

Recall that she has Rs11,040

This means that

\frac{12}{25} of Salary = Rs11,040

Multiply both sides by \frac{25}{12}

\frac{12}{25} * \frac{25}{12} * Salary = Rs11,040 * \frac{25}{12}

Salary = Rs11,040 * \frac{25}{12}

Salary = \frac{Rs276000}{12}

Salary = Rs23000

Hence, her salary for that month was Rs23000
