Mr Shah buys a flat and pays 5/8 part of it by cheque and 1/4 part of the cost by cash and promises to pay the remaining 4 lakh. What is the cost of the flat?
Answers
Answer:
32 lakh
Step-by-step explanation:
he pays
5/8 of the amount by cheque
1/4 that is 2/8 of the amount by cash
so
he payed 7/8 of the amount
the left amount that is 1/8 part of it is 4 lakh
therefore the total amount is 8×4 that is
32 lakh rupees
Answer:
Total Cost of flat = Rs.32,00,000 or 32 lakhs
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total cost of the flat be x.
We are given,
Money Paid by cheque = (5/8)x
Money Paid by cash = (1/4)x
Money left to pay = 4 lakhs
We know that,
Money left to pay = Total Cost of flat - Total Money Paid as of now
Also,
Total money Paid as of now = Money Paid by cheque + Money Paid by cash
Total money Paid as of now = (5/8)x + (1/4)x
Taking LCM (4, 8) = 8
Total money Paid as of now = (5/8)x + (2/8)x
Total money Paid as of now = ((5 + 2)/8)x
∴ Total money Paid as of now = (7/8)x
Now,
Money left to pay = 4 lakhs
But,
Money left to pay = Total Cost of flat - Total Money Paid as of now
4 lakhs = x - (7/8)x
Taking LCM (1, 8) = 8
4,00,000 = (8/8)x - (7/8)x
(1/8)x = 4,00,000
x = 4,00,000 ÷ (1/8)
x = 4,00,000 × 8
∴ x = Rs.32,00,000
Hence,
Total Cost of flat = Rs.32,00,000 or 32 lakhs
