Question

A man gave 35 % of his money to his elder son and 40% of the remainder to his younger son. if he is left with Rs 23400. find how much money did he gave originally​

Answer 1

Answer:

originally he had $93600

older son= $32760

younger son= $37440

Step-by-step explanation:

first we make an equation with the info we have so:

35% + 40% + 23400= x      ( x being what he started out with)

so we will have:

(35x/100) + (40x/100) + 23400 = x    ( then we simplify and bring the variables to one side)

(75x/100) -x = -23400   ( simplify the fraction)

(75x - 100x)/100 = -23400

-25x/100 = -23400 ( now make x the subject and solve)

-25x= -23400

x= 93600

to find the individual amount :

35% multiply by 93600 which will give you 32760

40% multiply by 93600 = 37440

hope im not too late and that this helped
