Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

60 percent is the answer

Answer 2

Given :

Rupees spent in market : ₹560

Percent of money spent : 40%

To find :

The money totally that Suresh had with him.

Solution :

Let the total money with him be m rupees.

According to the question,

Total money with Suresh (method 1) :

$\sf \dashrightarrow 40\% \: of \: m = 560$

$\sf \dashrightarrow 40\% \times m = 560$

$\sf \dashrightarrow \dfrac{40}{100} \times m = 560$

$\sf \dashrightarrow \dfrac{2}{5} \times m = 560$

$\sf \dashrightarrow \dfrac{2m}{5} = 560$

$\sf \dashrightarrow 2m = 560 \times 5$

$\sf \dashrightarrow 2m = 2800$

$\sf \dashrightarrow m = \dfrac{2800}{2}$

$\sf \dashrightarrow m = 1400$

We also have an other method to find the answer of this question.

Total money with him (method 2) :

$\sf \dashrightarrow 40\% \: of \: m = 560$

$\sf \dashrightarrow 40\% \times m = 560$

$\sf \dashrightarrow \dfrac{40}{100} \times m = 560$

$\sf \dashrightarrow m = 560 \div \dfrac{40}{100}$

$\sf \dashrightarrow m = \dfrac{560 \times 100}{40}$

$\sf \dashrightarrow m = \dfrac{56000}{40}$

$\sf \dashrightarrow m = 1400$

Hence, Suresh had ₹1400 with him totally.
