Question

ramesh spend 12.5% of his money. after spending 75% of the balance. he had rs. 175 with him. find the amount he had in the beginning

Answer 1

100% = total money
100% -12.5% or 1- 1/8 =7/8
7/8 ×75/100 = 7/8 × 3/4 spend
remaining = 7/8 × 1/4 = 175
1= 25×8×4
1=100×8
1=800 rs in the beginning

Answer 2

Spent = 12.5% (Given)

Remaining = 100 - 12.5 = 87.5%

.

Spend = 75% of 87.5% = 0.75 x 87.5 = 65.625%

Remaining = 87.5 - 65.625 = 21.875%

.

He still have Rs 175 left:

21.875% = Rs 175

.

Find 1%:

1% = 175 ÷ 21.875 = Rs 8

.

Find 100% (original amount):

100% = 8 x 100 = Rs 800

.

Answer: Ramesh had Rs 800 in the beginning.
