Question

Mohan saves 30% of his pocket money If he spends rs350. Find his pocket money

Answer 1

Money spender percentage

350*30/100=105

Total money=350+105=455

Answer 2

Given:

Pocket money spent by Mohan is Rs. 350.

Mohan saves 30% of his pocket money.

To find:

The total amount of pocket money of Mohan.

Solution:

Let us assume pocket money as Rs. X.

Since Mohan saves 30 percent of his pocket money,

This implies,

Pocket money saved = 30% of X

= (30/100) X

= (3/10)X

Amount spend by Mohan = Rs. 350

Now,

Total pocket money – Pocket money saved = Pocket money spent by Mohan

X – (3/10)X = 350

For the addition or subtraction of values, denominators must be the same.

Therefore, we will take L.C.M. of the values on the left-hand side and subtract the values.

7 X /10 = 350

7 X= (350 × 10)

X = 500

Therefore, Mohan's pocket money is Rs. 500.
