Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ram's salary = ₹ x

Money donated to NGO = (2/3) of x

Money spent on food items = (1/5) of x

Other expenses = (1/5) of x

Balance amount = ₹ 9000

$x - (\dfrac{2}{3}x+\dfrac{1}{5}x+\dfrac{1}{15}x) = 9000\\\\\\x - (\dfrac{2*5}{3*5}x+\dfrac{1*3}{5*3}x+\dfrac{1}{15}x)=9000\\\\\\x-\dfrac{10x+3x+1x}{15}=9000\\\\\\x-\dfrac{14}{15}x=9000\\\\\\\dfrac{15}{15}x-\dfrac{14}{15}x=9000\\\\\\\dfrac{1}{15}x=9000$

x = 9000 * 15

x = ₹ 135000
