Varun gave 60% of the money he had to his wife. He also gave 20% of the remaining amount to each of his three children. Three-fifth of the amount now left was spent on miscellaneous items, and the remaining amount of Rs. 9,600 was deposited in the bank. How much money did Varun have initially? Correct Answer Rs. 1,50,000
Given
Amount given to wife = 60% of total money
Amount given to three children each = 20% of money left after giving to wife
Amount spent on miscellaneous items = (3/5)th of the money left after giving to wife and children
Amount deposited = 9600
Concept
Total money = sum of the money given to wife , children, spent on miscellaneous items and deposited in bank
Calculation
let the total money is Rs.x
amount given to wife = 60% of x
⇒60x/100
Money left after given to wife = x - 60% of x
⇒40x/100
Amount given to three children = 3 × (40x/100) × 20%
⇒(120x/100) × (20/100)
⇒24x/100
Amount left for miscellaneous items = x -
⇒x - (84x/100)
⇒(100x - 84x)/100
⇒16x/100
Amount spent on miscellaneous items = (3/5) × (16x/100)
⇒48x/500
According to question
(60x/100) + (24x/100) + (48x/500) + 9600 = x
⇒(84x/100) + (48x/500) + 9600 = x
⇒ + 9600 = x
⇒ + 9600 = x
⇒9600 = x - (468x/500)
⇒9600 = (500x - 468x)/500
⇒9600 = 32x/500
⇒(9600 × 500)/32 = x
⇒300 × 500 = x
⇒150000 = x
∴ Initial amount Varun has is RS.1,50,000.
