Answer 1

Let the price of car= x
Father gave= (1/2)x
Mother gave= (1/4)x
Brother gave=(3/8)x
Sister gave= (15/16)x
Friend gave= (1/32)x
==>20,000=(1/2)x + (1/4)x + (3/8)x + (15/16)x + (1/32)x
            =(31/32)x
==>20,000*(32/31)=x
==>x=20645.16

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the price of the car = x

His father gave 1/2 of the money

1/2 of X = x/2

His mother given 1/2

So 1/2 of X/2 = x/4

His brother given 1/2

1/2 of X/4 = x/8

His sister gave 1/2

1/2 of X/8 = x/ 16

His friends gave 1/2

1/2 of X/16 = x/ 32

He found that he had 20,000 left with him

x/32= 20000

Therefore x = 20000 × 32

X = 6,40,000

The price of the car is 6,40,000
