Question

a man loses 12.5% of his money & after spending 70% of the remainder , he was left with Rs 210/- . the money he had at the beginning is?

Answer 1

Suppose he had Rs x at the start
After spending 12.5% or .125 of that he
has .875x left
He spends 70% of that, so he has
30% of the .875x
or .3(.875x) left

but .3(.875x) = 210
.2625x = 210
x = 210/.2625
= 800

Answer 2

45

Answer 3

8000

Answer 4

800
