Given:

Old age home + An orphanage + Foundations for medical help = 15% + 15% + 20% = 50%

Calculation:

Let the total savings amount be 100x

The remaining amount of deposit in the bank = Rs.7600

⇒ 100x × (100 - 50)% = 7600

⇒ 50x = 7600

⇒ x = 152

The total savings amount = 100 × 152 = Rs. 15,200

76% → Rs.15,200

100% → Rs. (15200/76) × 100 = Rs. 20000

∴ The salary of Ragul is Rs. 20000
