Mathematics Question on Recalling Ratios and Percentages
If Chameli had Rs 600 left after spending 75 % of her money, how much did she have in the beginning?
Answer
Let the amount of money which Chameli had in the beginning be x.
It is given that after spending 75 % of Rs x, she was left with Rs 600.
Therefore,
(100−75) % of x = Rs 600
Or, 25 % of x = Rs 600
10025×x = Rs 600
x = Rs (600×25100) = Rs 2400
Thus, she had Rs 2400 in the beginning.
