Correct Answer: 3,500
Solution : Let the total income be $100x$ Now, Percentage of income for travelling = $15\%$ of $100x = 15x$ Remaining income = $100x-15x=85x$ Percentage spent on food = 20% of the remaining amount after spending on travel = $20\%$ of $85x =17x$ Remaining income after spending on food and travelling = $85x-17x=68x$ Amount spent on donation and savings = $2000+380=2380$ So, $68x=2380$ ⇒ $x=35$ Her income = $100x=100\times 35 = 3500$ Hence, the correct answer is 3,500.
