Question

I spent 3/5 of my savings and still have Rs. 2000 left. What were my savings?

Answer 1

let the savings amount be Rs. x

$= > x - \frac{3}{5} x = 2000 \\ \\ = > \frac{2x}{5} = 2000 \\ \\ = > 2x = 10000 \\ \\ = > x = 5000$

The savings was Ra. 5000

Answer 2

Answer:

savings = Rs. 5000

Step by step explanation-

let the savings be = x

money left = Rs. 2000

money spent = 3/5 of x

A.T.Q-

3/5 x + 2000= x            ( savings + money spent = total money or total savings)

2000= x - 3/5 x

2000= (5x- 3x) /5

2000= 2x / 5

2x= 2000 multiply 5

2x = 10000

x= 5000
