let say originally Ram have = x rs
he lost 20 % money of x
20% of x = (20/100)x = 0.2x
money left after losing 20%
= x - 0.2x
= 0.8x rs
he spent 25 % of remaining (0.8x)
25 % of remaining = (25/100)× 0.8x
= 0.2x
left after spending 25%
= 0.8x - 0.2x
= 0.6x
0.6x = 480
multiplying by 10 both sides
=> 6x = 4800
dividing by 6 both sides
=> x = 800
originally money was = Rs 800
