Solution

To solve this problem, we need to understand that the remaining amount Seema saves is the remaining percentage of her salary after all the expenses.

First, let's add up all the percentages of her expenses: 20% (house-rent) + 25% (food) + 10% (transportation) + 15% (education) + 18% (household expenses) = 88%

This means that Seema spends 88% of her salary and saves the remaining 12% (100% - 88% = 12%).

If 12% of her salary equals 4800 (the amount she saves), we can set up the equation: 0.12S = 4800

To solve for S (her salary), we divide both sides of the equation by 0.12: S = 4800 / 0.12 S = 40,000

So, Seema's monthly salary is 40,000.
