2)If Sushama had Rs.600 leftafter spending 75% of hermoney, how much did shehave in the beginning?​

Answer»

Answer :-

  • Sushma had RS 2400 in the beginning.

To find :-

  • The amount of money she had in the beginning.

Step-by-step explanation :-

  • Here, we have to find the amount of money Sushma had before spending 75% on her salary.

It has been given that :-

  • Sushma spent 75% of her salary.

Hence,

  • The percentage of money left with her = 100% - 75% = 25%

Now, it has been given that :-

  • After spending 75% of her salary, Sushma is left with Rs 600.

  • It means, that 25% of Sushma's salary is Rs 600.

  • Let the amount of money Sushma had in the beginning be "x".

------------------------------------

\longmapsto\sf25\% \: of \: x = 600

Converting 25% into fraction,

\longmapsto\sf \dfrac{25}{100}  \times x = 600

MULTIPLYING 25/100 with x,

\longmapsto\sf \dfrac{25x}{100}  = 600

Transposing 100 from LHS to RHS, changing it's sign,

\longmapsto\sf25x = 600 \times 100

Multiplying 600 with 100,

\longmapsto\sf25x = 60000

Transposing 25 from LHS to RHS, changing it's sign,

\longmapsto\sf x =  \dfrac{60000}{25}

Dividing 60000 by 25,

\longmapsto \underline{ \boxed{\sf x = 2400}}

\\

  • Hence, Sushma had Rs 2400 in the beginning.
