Mathematics Question on Recalling Ratios and Percentages

If Chameli had Rs 600600 left after spending 7575 % of her money, how much did she have in the beginning?

Answer

Let the amount of money which Chameli had in the beginning be xx.
It is given that after spending 7575 % of Rs xx, she was left with Rs 600600.
Therefore,
(10075)(100 - 75) % of xx = Rs 600600

Or, 2525 % of xx = Rs 600600

25100×x\frac{25}{100} × x = Rs 600600

xx = Rs (600×10025)\bigg(600 × \frac{100}{25}\bigg) = Rs 24002400

Thus, she had Rs 24002400 in the beginning.
