Question

Mohan spends 2/5 his money on clothes and 3/4 of the remainder for milk and food. He is now with rupees 450 only. How much money he had in in the the beginning

Answer 1

Answer: HE HAD 3000 RUPEES IN THE BEGINNING.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the TOTAL MONEY of a person be x.

Investment on clothes- (2/5)x

Investment on food and milk- (3/4)x

Leftover money- 450

Then according to question,

(2/5)x + (3/4)x +450 = x

8x+15x/20 +450 = x

23x/20 +450 = x

23x/20 - x = 450

23x-20x/20 = 450

3x/20 = 450

3x = 450 *20

3x = 9000

x = 3000
