Solution
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
`25/100 xx x = Rs 600`
`x = Rs(600 xx 100/25)` = Rs 2400
Thus, she had Rs 2400 in the beginning.
