Question

A man spent 1/4 of his money on meals and 1/8 on snacks. At the end ₹400 was left with him. How much did he have at the beginning.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 640

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the total amount.

Total money spent  = 1/4 + 1/8 = 3/8.

Money left = 1 - 3/8 = 5/8.

5/8 * x should be equal to 400.

5x/8 = 400

x = 400*8/5 = Rs. 640
