Question

Anushka and Aarushi are friends. They have equal amount of money in their pockets. Anushka gave 1/3 of her money to Aarushi as her birthday gift. Then, Aarushi gave a party at a restaurant and cleared the bill by paying half of the total money with her. If the remaining money in Aarushi's pocket is ₹1600, then find the money gifted by Anushka.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the money in each of their pockets initially be 3x

So money given by Anushka to Arushi as her birthday gift = 3x(1/3) = x

Money with Arushi after this gift = 3x + x = 4x

Money Arushi spent on her birthday party = 1/2 of money she had = 1/2 of 4x = 2x

Money remaining with Arushi now = 4x - 2x = 2x

2x = 1600

x = 800

So, money gifted by Anushka = x = 800 rs

Answer 2

Answer:

AMOUNT GIFTED BY ANUSHKA IS ₹ 800

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of money with Anushka be ₹x and the amount of money with Aarushi be ₹ x.

Amount of money gifted by Anushka = ⅓ of x

= ⅓ × x

= x/3
