A person spends 1/8th of his salary on travel,1/3rd of the remaining on food, he then spends 1/5th of the remaining on rent. Finally he puts 1/4th of the remaining as a monthly savings, after which he has 20000 left. What is his salary (in Rs.)?

• let us assume his salary as x
  x*(1-1/8)*(1-1/3)*(1-1/5)*(1-1/4)=20000
  x*(7/8)*(2/3)*(4/5)*(3/4)=20000
  x=400000/7
  =57142
