Question

a man loses 20% of his money. After spending 25% of the remainder, he has rs960. 00 left. How much money did he originally have. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs.1600

Explanation:

Let the money he originally had be x.

Money lost = 20% of x = 20/100 x = 1/5 x

Remaining money = 4/5 x

Money spent = 25% of 4/5 x = 25/100 × 4/5 x = 1/5 x

Remaining money = 3/5 x

According to Question,

3/5 x = 960

x = 960 × 5/3

x = 1600

Hence, the man originally had Rs.1600.
