Final answer:

If he had Rs. 400 left after spending 60% of his money, then he spent 100% - 60% = 40% of his money. Ram had Rs. 1000 in all.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much Ram had in all, we need to calculate the amount he spent. If he had Rs. 400 left after spending 60% of his money, then he spent 100% - 60% = 40% of his money. Let's represent the amount he had in all as 'x'.

The 40% of x = Rs. 400. We can convert 40% to a decimal by dividing it by 100, so we get 0.4. Multiplying both sides of the equation by 0.4, we get:

0.4x = Rs. 400

To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.4:

x = Rs. 400 / 0.4 = Rs. 1000

Therefore, Ram had Rs. 1000 in all.
