A driver's income consists of his salary and tips. during one week his tips were 5/4 of his salary. what fraction of his income came from tips?

Correct Answer: 5/9

Explanation:

Let us assume the salary of driver be R
Then Tips of week = R x 5/4
According to question,
his income during one week = Salary + Tips
⇒ Total Income during one week = R + (5R/4)
⇒ Total Income during one week = (4R + 5R)/4 = 9R/4
Required Fraction = Tips in a week/Total Income in a week
⇒ Required Fraction = 5R/4 / 9R/4
⇒ Required Fraction = 5R/4 x 4/9R
⇒ Required Fraction = 5/9
