Garima’s expenditure in February is 20% less than in January. Her expenditure in February is 25% less than in March. If she spends Rs.560 in March,what is her expenditure in January?

Answer 1

F=expenses in february
J=expenses in january
M=expenses in march=560

F=J-20%J

F=M-25%M
F=560-25%×560
F=560-140
F=420

F=J-20%J
F=420=J-J/5
420=4J/5
4J=420×5=2100
J=2100/4=525

Expenses in january=525
