Question

A person spends 1/3 of the money on cloths, 1/5 of the remaining money on food and 1/4 of the remaining on travel. Now he is left with Rs.100.How much did he have with him in the beginning? ASAP

Answer 1

let the amount of money be x

cloths 1/3 X x=rs.x/3

balance = x- x/3 = 2x/3

food = 1/5 X 2x/3 = 2x/15

balance = 2x/3 - 2x/15= 8x/15

travel = 1/4 X 8x/15 = 2x/15

now he has 100 rupees

2x/5 = 100
2x= 500
x = 500/2
x = 250

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of money be x

cloths 1/3 X x=rs.x/3

balance = x- x/3 = 2x/3

food = 1/5 X 2x/3 = 2x/15

balance = 2x/3 - 2x/15= 8x/15

travel = 1/4 X 8x/15 = 2x/15

now he has 100 rupees

2x/5 = 100

2x= 500

x = 500/2

x = 250
