Question

after incurring a loss of 30% a man had rs 18000 left with him
what was amount of money he originally had

Lalit Mehra · Accepted Answer

Let the original amount with man be Rs x.

Loss incurred by man = 30 % of Rs x = $Rs \frac{30}{100} x = Rs \frac{3}{10} x$

Original amount with man – Loss incurred by man = Rs 18000 (Given)

$∴ Rs x - Rs \frac{3}{10} x = Rs18000 \Rightarrow \frac{10 x - 3 x}{10} = 18000 \Rightarrow \frac{7 x}{10} = 18000 \Rightarrow x = \frac{180000}{7}$

⇒ x ≈ 25714.30

Thus, the original amount with the man is Rs 25714.30 approximately.
