Let the money with him be 100

Stolen money = 25

lost through the hole = 10

Remaining money = 65

On food = 65× 1/2
= 32.5

=> 32.5r = 26

=> 1r = 26/32.5

=>r = 260 / 325

Therefore,

100r = 26000/ 325

= 80 Rupees.

Answer 2

Total amount ( in % ) = 100 %

Stolen amount ( in % ) = 25 %

Lost amount ( in % ) = 10 %

Amount spent on food = 50 %

Amount spent on book = Rs. 26

Amount wasted = 100 % - 85 % = 15 %

( is Rs. 26 )

1 % = 15/26

Total amount ( in Rs. ) = 15/26 * 100/1
