Question

Roshan loses 20 % of his money. after spending 25%of the remainder , he has the rupee 4800 with him. how much did he originally have?

Answer 1

Let the total money Roshan has = Rs. x
Money lost = Rs. 20% of x
                  = Rs.(20/100)x
Remainder = Rs. x - (20/100)x
                   = Rs.(80/100)x
Money Spent = Rs. 25% of (80/100)x
                      = Rs. (20/100)x
Total money left =Rs. (80/100)x - (20/100)x
                          = Rs. (60/100)x

According to question,
(60/100)x = 4800
x = 4800(100/60)
x = 8000

Therefore, Roshan originally had Rs. 8000
