Question

If Chameli had Rs \(600\) left after spending \(75\) % of her money, how much did she have in the beginning?

Answer 1

Let the amount of money which Chameli had in the beginning be \(x\).
It is given that after spending \(75\) % of Rs \(x\), she was left with Rs \(600\).
Therefore,
\((100 - 75)\) % of \(x\) = Rs \(600\)

Or, \(25\) % of \(x\) = Rs \(600\)

\(\frac{25}{100} × x\) = Rs \(600\)

\(x\) = Rs \(\bigg(600 × \frac{100}{25}\bigg)\) = Rs \(2400\)

Thus, she had Rs \(2400\) in the beginning.
