Answer 2

Given,

The amount of Mahima = Rs. 1200

The amount of Rima = Rs. 2500

Mahima spent = 20% of her money

Rima spent the same amount as Mahima.

To find,

The percentage of money spent by Rima.

Solution,

The percentage of money spent by Rima will be 9.6%.

We can easily solve this problem by following the given steps.

Now,

According to the question,

Amount spent by Mahima = 20% of her money

Amount spent by Mahima = 20% × Rs. 1200

Amount spent by Mahima = 20/100 × 1200

Amount spent by Mahima = Rs. 240

Now, the amount spent by Mahima and Rima is the same that is Rs. 240.

Then, let's take the percentage of the amount spent by Rima to be x%.

So,

x% of Rima's money = Rs. 240

x/100 × 2500 = 240

2500x/100 = 240

25x = 240

x = 240/25 ( 25 was in multiplication on the left-hand side. So, it is in divide on the right hand side.)

x = 9.6

Hence, the percentage of money spent by Rima is 9.6%.
