A man loses 25% of his money. After spending 20% of the rest, he has 10,200 left within. How much money did he have originally?

Answer»

Find the percentage of money left after he loses 25%

100 - 25 = 75%

Find the percentage of money left after he spent 20% of the rest:

20% x 75 = 0.2 x 75 = 15%

75 - 15 = 60%

Find the original amount:

60% = Rs 10200

1% = 10200 ÷60 = Rs 170

100% = 170 x 100 = Rs 17000

Answer: He had Rs 17000 originally
