Question

If Chameli had Rs 600 left after spending 75% of her money, how much did she have in the beginning?

Answer 1

Let total money initially = x

Percentage of money spent by Chameli = 75%

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` × x = Rs 600

x = Rs`(600 xx 100/25)`

x = Rs 2400

Thus, she had Rs 2400 in the beginning.
