Question

Ram gave Jadu 0.65 of his money if he would give 0.8 of his money then jadu would get Rs 1500 more.How much money had Ram​

Answer 1

Given:

Amount of money given to Jadu by Ram = 0.65 of the total money

If the money given to Jadu by Ram = 0.8 of the total money

Then amount of more money that Jadu will have = Rs 1500

To find:

Money available with Ram = ?

Solution:

Let the total money available with Ram = Rs $x$

0.65 of the money = 0.65$x$

0.8 of the money = 0.8$x$

Given that, the difference is equal to Rs. 1500

Writing the equation as per the given question statement:

$0.8x-0.65x = 1500\\\Rightarrow 0.15x = 1500\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{15}{100}x = 1500\\\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{1500\times 100}{15} = \bold{10000}$

Total money available with Ram = Rs. 10000
