Question

A man loses 20% of his money. After spending 25% of the remainder, he has ₹ 480 left. How much money did he originally have?

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs 800

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total money be Rs x

amount of money lost = 20%of Rs x = Rs x/5

remaining money = Rs 4x/5

amount spent = 25% of Rs 4x/5 = Rs 1x/5

Money left = Rs 480

By the problem,

x/5 + x/5 + 480 = x

x/5 + x/5 - x = - 480

- 3x/5 = -480

x = 480 × 5/3

x = 800
