Question

Mr. Rahman gave 40% of the money he had to his wife. he also gave 20% of the remaining amount to each of his 3 sons. half of the amount now left was spent on miscellaneous items and the remaining amount of Rs.12000 was deposited in the bank. how much money did Mr. Rahman have initially

Answer 1

53760

Explanation:

12000 x 2 = 24000

24000 x .20 = 4800 this is the amount he gave to each of his sons

4800 x 3 = 14400 this is the amount he gave to his sons in total

24000 + 14400 = 38400

38400 x .40 = 15360 this is how much he gave to his wife

15360 + 38400 = 53760
