Question

Savitri has a sum of Rs x. She spent Rs 1000 on grocery, Rs 500 on clothes and Rs 400 on education, and received Rs 200 as a gift. How much money (in Rs) is left with her?

Options

• x – 1700

• x – 1900

• x + 200

• x – 2100

Answer 1

x – 1700

Explanation:

Given, Savitri has total money = Rs. x

Spent on grocery = Rs. 1000

Spent on clothes = Rs. 500

Spent on education = Rs. 400

Received as a gift = Rs. 200

Then, money left with her = Rs. {x – [1000 + 500 + 400 – 200]}

= Rs. {x – [1900 – 200]}

= Rs. {x – 1700}
