For a recent accident, Mr. Rahman was paid Tk. 56,000 by the insurance company. What was the total amount of the damage estimated? Correct Answer Tk. 80,000
Minimum damage ≡ 50000 TK Payment above minimum damage ≡ 56000 - 50000 = 6000 TK Here, 20% of the rest of the damage ≡ 6000 TK So, total or 100% of the rest of the damage ≡ 6000 x 100 / 20 = 30000 TK So, total damage amount ≡ 50000 + 30000 = 80000 TK.
