Question

Simi had some money with her. she spent 1/4th of it for buying sweets, 1/3rd for clothes And 1/5th for vegetables. if she had now rs.182 left with her, what amount did she spend for clothes?​

Answer 1

Answer:

she spent 280 rupees on buying clothes

Answer 2

Answer:

let total money with Simi = x

money spent on sweets =1/4×x=x/4

money spent on clothes =x/3

money spent on vegetables=x/5

money left = 182

we get;

x/4+x/3+x/5+182=x

15x+20x+12x+10920/60=x

47x+10920/60=x

47x+10920=60x

10920=60x-47x

13x=10920

x=10920/13

x=840

total money =Rs840

money spent on clothes=x/3=840/3=280

therefore answer=Rs280
