Question : 119 of 200

Marks: +1, -0

A man loses 20

1/2

% of his money and after spending 80% of the remainder, he is left with 159. How much did he have at first ?

Solution:

Original amount with man = Rs. x
Amount left after loss
=

(10-{41}/2)

% of x
=

({200-41}/{2})

% of x
= Rs.

(x× {159}/{200})

The 80% of this amount is spent.
Savings = 20 %
∴ x ×

{159}/{200} × {20}/{100}

= 159
⇒ x =

{200×100}/{20}

= Rs. 1000
