Two friends Seema and Rekha went to shopping with equal amount of money. Seema bought a shoe for Rs. 95 and Rekha spent Rs. 350 on dress. If Rekha had 4/7 of what Seema had left. How much money did Seema have left after shopping? Correct Answer Rs. 595

GIVEN:

Seema and Rekha went to shopping with equal amount of money.

Seema bought a shoe for Rs. 95

Rekha spent Rs. 350 on dress

Rekha had 4/7 of what Seema had left

CONCEPT:

Here we need to form a linear equation and find the amount of money the girls had in the beginning.

CALCULATION:

Let the amount of money Seema and Rekha had be x

⇒ Amount left with Seema = x – 95

⇒ Amount left with Rekha = x – 350

According to the question,

x – 350 = 4 (x – 95) / 7

⇒ 7x – 2450 = 4x – 380

⇒ x = 690

∴ Amount left with Seema = 690 – 95 = Rs. 595
