Question

Rohan works in a hotel, his monthly income consists of salary and tips. During a month his tip was 4/3 of his salary. Tip is what fraction of his income?

1. 3/7
2. 7/3
3. 4/7
4. 7/4

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : 4/7

Calculation:

Let the salary of a month be Rs. a.

According to the question, we have,

Tip = Rs. (4a)/3

Total income = a + (4a)/3 = (7a)/3

Required fraction = {(4a)/3 × 3/(7a)} = 4/7

∴ The fraction of income that came from tips is 4/7.
