Question

After incurring a loss of $33\frac{1}{3}$, a man had $Rs18,600$ left with him. What was the amount of money he originally had?

Answer 1

We have,

$18600$ represent $(100\%-33\frac{1}{3})$

$18600=66\frac{2}{3}\%$

$18600=\frac{2}{3}$ of the amount

Multiply each side by $\left(3\right)$

$3\left(18600\right)=3\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)$

$3\left(18600\right)=2$ original amount divide both side by $\left(2\right)$

$3\frac{\left(18600\right)}{2}=\frac{2}{2}$

$3\left(9300\right)=$original amount

$27900$

Hence, this is answer.
