A man loses 20% of his money. After spending 25% of the remainder, he has Rs 480.00 left. How much money did he originally have ?

Options

A. Rs. 600
B. Rs. 720
C. Rs. 800
D. Rs. 840

Answer

C

Explanation

(c ) Let man has originally Rs. x
After 20% loss `=(x xx 80)/(100)=(8x)/(10)`
After spending 25% `=(8x)/(10) xx(75)/(100)=(8x)/(10)xx(3)/(4)`
According to the question,
`(8x)/(10)xx(3)/(4)=480implies 8x xx 3=480xx4xx10`
`:. x=(480xx4xx10)/(8xx3)=800`
