After having spent 35% of the money on machinery, 40% on raw material and 10% on staff, a person is left with rs 60,000.the total amount of money spent on machinery and raw material is

Answer 1

Remain =15%
15%=60000
1%=4000
Raw material=40*4000=160000
Machinaray =35*4000=140000
Total money spent on both =300000

Answer 2

The total percentage of money which he spent for machinery,raw materials and staff is;

= (35+40+10)%

=85%

So the remaining percentage of money is;

=(100-85)%

=15%.

Let the total amount of money is x.

So according to the data mentioned in the question;

x×15%=60000

x= 60000÷15%

x= 400000

So,he spent for raw materials;

=400000×40%

=160000 (answer)

And,he spent for machinery;

=400000×35%

=140000 (answer)
