Question

After making a withdrawal, the amount of money in Sunil's bank account decreased by 42.5%
Then he had 1,380 rupees left in his account.

How much money did Sunil withdraw?

• A. 2,400 rupees
• B. 1,020 rupees
• C. 3,247 rupees
• D. 1,867 rupees

Answer 1

The correct option is A

2,400 rupees

The amount of money in the account decreased by 42.5%, so the new amount was 57.5% of the old amount.

If he withdraws 1% of the amount , then the amount withdrawn = 1,380/57.5 rupees = 24 rupees
Hence 100 % of the amount : 100 × 24 rupees = 2400 rupees
