Question

Swapana spent Rs. 44620 on Deepavali Shopping, Rs. 32764 on buying a laptop and the remaining $32\%$ of the total amount she kept as cash on her. What was the total amount?

• A. Rs. 36416
• B. Rs. 113800
• C. Rs. 77384
• D. Cannot be determined
• E. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B Rs. 113800

Let total amount was Rs. x
$\because x-(44620+32764)=\frac{x\times 32}{100}$
$\Rightarrow x-77384=0.32x$
$\Rightarrow x-0.32x=77384$
$\Rightarrow 0.68x=77384$
$x=\frac{77384}{0.68}$
$=113800$
