Answer 2

Dear Student,

● Answer -

4750 Rs

● Explanation -

Total money spent by the man is 75 + 5 = 80 %. So money left with the man is 100 - 80 = 20 %.

Let x be the money the man had as first.

20 % of x = 950

x × 20/100 = 950

x = 950 × 100/20

x = 4750 Rs

Hence, the man has Rs 4750 at first.
