Answer 2

let the total cash he had = Rs x
_______________________________
step1-Find cash that he invested in machinary :
_______________________________

cash investment in machinary = 65 %

cash invested in machinary = 65% of x

= 65 / 100 × x = 0.65 × x = Rs 0.65 x

_______________________________
step2-Find cash that he invested in raw materials :
_______________________________

cash investment in raw materials

= 20%

cash invested in raw materials

= 20 % of x

= 20 /100 × x = Rs 0.2 x

_______________________________
step3- Find total investment :
_______________________________

total cash that he invested

= 0.65 x + 0.2 x

= Rs 0.85 x

cash remaining = x - 0.85 x

= Rs 0.15 x

according to question:
____________________

cash remaining = Rs 1305

0.15x = 1305 => x = 1305 / 0.15

x = Rs 8700 = total cash that he had for investment

therefore ,

total investment

= Rs 8700
