Answer 1

Answer:

6000,1500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Gopi's salary be 'x'

He paid 25% of his salary as tax. = 25% of x = 25x/100 = x/4  

He spent 1/3 of his salary on groceries = x/3

Getting his salary:-

x-x/3-x/4=2500

(12x-4x-3x)/12=2500

5x/12=2500

x=

(2500x12)/5

x=500x12=6000

Tax amount:-

6000x25/100=1500
