Ramdas spent 75% of his pocket money on books. If he bought books worth Rs. 2700, find the amount he gets as pocket money.
Let the total pocket money recieved by Ramdas = Rs. x
Percentage of pocket money spent on books = 75 %
Amount spent by Ramdas for buying books = Rs. 2,700
To find out Ramdas's pocket money, we write the following equation :
75 % of x = 2,700
= (75 / 100) x = 2,700
= x = 2,700 / (75 / 100)
= 2,700 x (100 / 75)
= 3,600
Therefore, Ramdas's pocket money = Rs. 3,600
