Question

A person goes shopping and spends 75% of his money. If he is now left with Rs. 600, find out how much he had in the beginning.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 2400

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the money he had in beginning be x.

So, he spent 75% of this amount x.

He is now left with 25% of this amount.

Now,

25% of x = 600

25/100 * x = 600

x = 600*100/25

So, x= 2400

Therefore, he had Rs. 2400 at the beginning.

Answer 2

Given:-

• A person goes shopping and spends 75% of his money.
• He is now left with Rs.600.

⠀

To find:-

• Initial amount that he had in the beginning.

⠀

Solution:-

Let,

• the initial amount that he had in the beginning.

⠀

So,

• the amount he spent = x - 600

⠀

→ 75% of x = x - 600

→ (75/100) × x = x - 600

→ 75x = 100x - 60000

→ 25x = 60000

→ x = 60000/25

→ x = 2400

⠀

Hence,

• the initial amount that he had in the beginning is Rs.2400.
