Question

Bittu spends 1/3 of the money with him on books ,one 1/4 of the remaining on food ,and 2/5 of the remaining on travel . now he is left with rupees 450. how much money did he have in the beginning ​

Answer 1

Let the total money be 'x'.

now money spent on the books = x/3

money spent on food= x/4

money spent on travel= 2x/5

now the total money spent= x/3 + x/4 + 2x/5 = 59x/60

show the remaining money = x - 59x/60 = x/60

now, the money left = 450

so x/60 = 450

→ x = 27000

So that total money the Bittu had in the beginning was 27000.
