Question

A man gave 35% of his money to his elder on and 40% of the remainder to the younger son.Now, he is left with 11700 rupees.How much money had he?

Answer 1

Hi ,

Elder son share = 35%

Remainder = ( 100 - 35 ) = 65 %

Younger son share = 40 % of 65

= ( 40 × 65 ) / 100

= 26 %

The percentage left with the man = 100 - 35 - 26

= 100 - 61

= 39%

According to the problem given ,

39% of total amount = Rs 11700

Total amount = ( 11700) / 39%

= ( 11700 × 100 ) / 39

= Rs 30000

The man had Rs 30000.

I hope this helps you,

:)
