Answer 2

Answer : 104

Step by step explanation :

Let's assume that the money with Sam be x.

As per your question,

$\tt{\frac{3}{4}x = 78}$

Thus, Simplifying it, we get :

$\tt{x = 78 \times \frac{4}{3}}$

Final step :

$\tt{x = 26 \times 4}$

Thus, we get :

x = 104

So, Sam had Rs. 104 at first.
