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)

40% of m = 560

40% × m = 560

40/100 × m = 560

2/5 × m = 560

2m/5 = 560

2m = 560 × 5

2m = 560 × 5

2m = 2800

m = 2800/2

m = 1400

Hence, Suresh had ₹1400 with him totally.
