Transport cost is Rs 4800

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Given that the amount the man spent on food = Rs 16800 which is 42%. Form an equation where his salary is x.

⇒ 42% of x = 16800

⇒ 42/100 × x = 16800

⇒ 42x = 1,680,000

⇒ x = 1,680,000/42 = Rs 40,000

∴ Salary is Rs 40,000

  • Step 2: Calculate his transport cost.

12% of 40000 = 12/100 × 40000 = Rs 4800
