Question

a man spent in buying 1/4th of his total amount in vegetables, 3/5th in fruits and 1/8th in sweets. he spent the remaining rs. 8 as bis fare. how much amount he had taken for shopping? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

312

Step-by-step explanation:

(1/4)x+(3/5)x+(1/8)x+8

1-((1/4)x+(3/5)x+(1/8)x)=8

1-((39/40)x)=8

(1/40)x=8

x=320

So Total shopping =(39/40)x=(39x320)/40

i.e 320-8=312

OR

(39x32)/4=312

THESE are two ways of doing the same.
