Calculation for Alok's Monthly Salary:

Given Data:

Let x be Alok's monthly salary.

After spending 85% of his salary, Alok saves $1200 per month. This means Alok spends 15% of his salary ($1200 is 15% of his salary).

So, 15% of x = $1200

0.15x = $1200

x = $1200 / 0.15

x = $8000

Therefore, Alok's monthly salary is $8000.
