Question

in a school function 360 remained after spending 82% of the money. how much money was there in the beginning?verify your answer

Answer 1

Hi ,

Let the total money at beginning = x

Remaining money = 360

( 100 - 82 ) % × x = 360

18 % × x = 360

( 18/100 ) × x = 360

x = ( 360 × 100 ) /18

x = 20 × 100

x = 2000

Therefore ,

Money at the beginning = x= Rs2000

I hope this helps you.

:)

Answer 2

let total money be x
money spent=x-82%of x=18x/100
360=18x/100
x=360*100/18=2000
verification-
if total money was 2000 money spent=82% of 2000=82/100*2000=1640
money left=2000-1640=360
