Question

a man loses 25 percent of his money.after spending 20 percent of the rest,he has ₹10,200 left with him.how much money did he gave originally.

Answer 1

let the total money is x

X - 25% of x = x - 25 X /100
= x - x/4 = 3x/4

according to question
3 X/ 4 - 20% of 3 x/ 4 = 3x/4-60x/400
= 3x/4-3x/20
= 15x - 3x/20
= 12x/20
the rest money is 12x/20 = 10200
12x = 10200×20
x = 204000/12
x = 17000
he has originally 17000 rs.
