Practicing Success
A man had a certain amount with him. He spent 20% of that to buy an article and 5% of the remaining on transport. Then he gifted Rs 120 and left with Rs 1400. The amount he spent on transport is: |
80 88 70 60 |
80 |
Let total amount = Rs.100 Spend on article = 20% of 100 = 20 Remaining amount = 100 - 20 = 80 Amount spend on transport = 5% of 80 = Rs.4 Remaining amount = 76 ATQ, ⇒ 76R - 120 (gift) = 1400 ⇒ 76R = 1520 ⇒ 1R = 20 So, amount spend on transport = 4R = 4 × 20 = Rs. 80 |
