d = b+20
h = 2d
d+b = (2/3)h
now, find b,d,h and their sum is the total money to start with.
PINKY SPENT 3/5 OF HER MONEY ON A HAND BAG. SHE SPENT REST OF THE MONEY ON A DRESS AND A BELT. THE HAND BAG COSTS TWICE AS MUCH AS THE DRESS. THE DRESS COSTS RUPEES 20 MORE THAN THE BELT. SO HOW MUCH MONEY WAS IN THE BEGNING PINKY HAVE ?

CAN U DETAIL IT PLS
come on. Just read the words, and translate them into symbols.
PINKY SPENT 3/5 OF HER MONEY ON A HAND BAG.
that means that the remaining 2/5 was spent on the dress and belt.
2/5 is 2/3 of 3/5, so
d+b = (2/3) h
The other equations are also just restatements of the words in symbols.

Let the total money she had be X
So, cost of hand bag = 3/5x
Cost of dress and belt together remaining of x = 2/5x
Cost of hand bag = 2 ( cost of dress)
H = 2 d and cost of dress = cost of belt +20
D = b+20,
D+ b = 2/5x
D - b = 20
Adding, we get
2d = 2/5 x + 20
= 3/5 x
= 3/5 x = 2/5 x +20
= 1/5 x = 20
= x = 100
So, cost of hand bag = 3/5x
Cost of dress and belt together remaining of x = 2/5x
Cost of hand bag = 2 ( cost of dress)
H = 2 d and cost of dress = cost of belt +20
D = b+20,
D+ b = 2/5x
D - b = 20
Adding, we get
2d = 2/5 x + 20
= 3/5 x
= 3/5 x = 2/5 x +20
= 1/5 x = 20
= x = 100
