Question

After spending 85% of the money he had with him Mr Sharma has 810 left with him what was the amount he had originally

Answer 1

Let the total amount be x  Then, the amount left with Mr. Sharma = 810 Percentage of amount spent = 85% Original amount - amount spent = amount left  Thus,  100% - 85% = 15% Therefore 15% of x = 810 15/ 100 * x = 810 x = 810*100 / 15 x = 810000 / 15  Therfore, x = 5400
