Question

A man had a certain sum of money. He spent 15% of his money on travelling and
20% of the rest on food and beverages. After all those expenses, 10,200 was le
with him. Calculate the amount of money he had in the beginning.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y be the money left with the man after spending 15% of his initial money

So,

y x (100-20)/100= 10200

=>y x 80/100=10200

=>4y/5=10200

=>y= 10200 x 5/4

=>y= 2540 x 5

=>y= 12700 Rs

Also we know that,

X x (100-15)/100 = 12700                    (Let initial money be X)

=> X = 12700 x 100/85

=> X = 14941.176  (approximate value)

Answer:- The man had Rs 14,941.176 at the beginning...
