Mrs. Roy spent ₹ 44620 on Deepawali shopping, ₹ 32764 on buying laptop and the remaining 32\% of the total amount she had as cash with her. What was the total amount? (S.B.I.,P.O., 2008)
Answer
Answer (as printed):
Explanation
Let the total amount be ₹ $x$. Then, $(100-32)\%$ of $x=44620+32764 \Rightarrow 68\%$ of $x=77384 \Rightarrow x=\left(\frac{77384\times 100}{68}\right)=113800$. Hence, total amount $=₹113800$.
