Question

after a loss of 25%,a man had rs.18000 left with him what is the amount of money he originally had ?

Answer 1

Let the Original amount be A

So, after a loss of 25% if that man had Rs.18000

A - ( Ax25 )/100 = 18000

Multiplying both sides by 100 ,
100xA - 25xA = 18000x100
75xA = 1800000
A = 1800000 / 75
A = 24,000

So, originally the man had Rs. 24000
