Question

Jai won Rs.3000 on a bet, which meant he had five times more money than if he had lost Rs.3000
How much money had Jai before he won

Answer 1

3000 divided by 5 = 600 rupees.

Answer 2

Given,

The amount of money won by Jai on a bet$\[ = 3000\]$

The amount of money lost by Jai on a bet$\[ = 3000\]$

Solution,

Assume that the initial amount be $\[x\].$

Know that he had won Rs $\[3000\]$ as a bet than the money at him be $\[X\]$and given it is five times.

Therefore,

$\[ \Rightarrow y + 3000 = 5x\]$

Know that Jai won$\[3000\]$ as a bet he won$\[1500\]$ and he spend$\[1500\]$ from his pocket.

Therefore,

$\[ \Rightarrow x = 1500\]$

So,

$\[\begin{array}{l} \Rightarrow y + 3000 = 5\left( {1500} \right)\\ \Rightarrow y + 3000 = 7500\\ \Rightarrow y = 7500 - 3000\\ \Rightarrow y = 4500\end{array}\]$

Hence,the amount of money jai has is Rs $\[4500\].$
