Question

If Anisha had ₹ 600 left after spending 75% of her money, how much did she have in the beginning?

• A. ₹ 4000
• B. ₹ 2500
• C. ₹ 2400
• D. ₹ 2000

Answer 1

The correct option is C ₹ 2400

Let she had amount x in the beginning.

According to the question,

$x-75\%ofx=600$

$\Rightarrow x-\frac{75}{100}\times x=600$

$\Rightarrow x-\frac{3}{4}x=600$

$\Rightarrow x(1-\frac{3}{4})=600$

$\Rightarrow x\left(\frac{4-3}{4}\right)=600$

$\Rightarrow x\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)=600$

$\Rightarrow x=600\times 4=₹2400$

Hence, she had ₹ 2,400 in the beginning.
