Question

13
Arvind gave 30 per cent of the amount he had to Jatin. Jatin in turn gave one-third of
what he received from Arvind to Pawan. After paying 400 to the taxi driver out of the
amount he got from Jatin, Pawan now has 800 left with him. Find the amount Arvind
had initially.​

Answer 1

Answer:

12000 is the initial amount

Step-by-step explanation:

800+400 = 1200 :- Pawan

1200×3 = 3600 :- Jatin

3600 is 30% of Arvind's initial amount

3600×30/100 = (3600×100)÷3 = 12000

Therefore 12000 is Arvind's initial amount.
