Question

Sarita had $\mathrm{Rs}.10,500$. She gave $\frac{3}{5}$of it to her friend Geeta. How much money is left with her?

Answer 1

Step 1: Total money with Sarita$=\mathrm{Rs}.10,500$

She gave to her friend = $\frac{3}{5}$of $\mathrm{Rs}.10,500=\frac{3}{\sout{5}}\times \mathrm{Rs}.{\sout{10,500}}^{2100}=\mathrm{Rs}.3\times 2100=\mathrm{Rs}.6300$

Therefore, she gave $\mathrm{Rs}.6300$ to her friend.

Step 2: Money left with Sarita$=\mathrm{Total}\mathrm{money}-\mathrm{Money}\mathrm{she}\mathrm{gave}\mathrm{away}\mathrm{to}\mathrm{her}\mathrm{friend}$

$=\mathrm{Rs}.10,500-\mathrm{Rs}.6300$

$=\mathrm{Rs}.4200$

Hence, the money left with Sarita $=\mathrm{Rs}.4200$
