55% of money is Rs. 1.1. The sum of money is?

1 answer

Let the total sum of money be \( x \).

According to the problem, 55% of \( x \) equals Rs. 1.1. We can write this as an equation:

\[ 0.55x = 1.1 \]

To find \( x \), divide both sides of the equation by 0.55:

\[ x = \frac{1.1}{0.55} \]

Calculating the right side:

\[ x = 2 \]

Thus, the total sum of money is Rs. 2.
