Question

Kavin lost 20% of his money after which he was left with Rs.4800. Find the amount he had in the beginning.

Answer 1

GIVEN :-

• Kavin lost 20% of his money .
• Money left with him = Rs. 4800

TO FIND :-

• The amount of money he had in the beginning ( Total money he had).

SOLUTION :-

⇢ Money left with him = (100 - 20)%

⇢ Money left with him = 80%

Now Let the total money be "x".

⇒ 80% of x = 4800

⇒ 80/100 × x = 4800

⇒ 80x/100 = 4800

⇒ x = (4800 × 100)/80

⇒ x = 60 × 100

⇒ x = 6000

Hence the total money he had in the beginning is Rs. 6000.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\huge \bf \: question$

Kavin lost 20% of his money after which he was left with Rs.4800. Find the amount he had in the beginning.

$\huge \bf \: to \: find$

Amount that Kavin had

$\huge \bf \: solution$

Money percent given to Kavin = 100%

Money percent lost be Kavin = 20%

Money percent left with him = 100% - 20% = 80%

Let the amount be y

$80\% \: of \: 4800$

$\frac{80}{100} \times y</u></strong><strong><u> </u></strong><strong><u>=</u></strong><strong><u> </u></strong><strong><u>₹</u></strong><strong><u>4</u></strong><strong><u>8</u></strong><strong><u>0</u></strong><strong><u>0</u></strong><strong><u>$

$\frac{80y}{100} = 4800$

$y = \frac{</u></strong><strong><u>(</u></strong><strong><u>4800 \times 100</u></strong><strong><u>)</u></strong><strong><u>}{80}$

$60 \times 100 = 6000$

$\bf \: total \: money \: = 6000$
