Question

Sonika spent Rs. 45,760 on the interior decoration of her home, Rs. 7896 on buying an air conditioner and the remaining 28% of the total amount she had as cash with her. What was the total amount?

• A. Rs. 98540
• B. Rs. 102300
• C. Rs. 134560
• D. Cannot be determined
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B Rs. 102300

Let the total amount be Rs. x.
The amount spent = 100 - 28 = 72%
$\therefore$ 72% of x
= Rs. (45760 + 27896)
$\Rightarrow \frac{72\times x}{100}=73656\Rightarrow x=\frac{73656\times 100}{72}=Rs.102300$
