The correct Answer is:
To find the total amount Raghav had, we can set up the problem step by step. Let's denote the total amount Raghav had as \( X \). 1. **Identify the amounts spent**: - Raghav spent Rs. 55,760 on interior decoration. - He also spent Rs. 37,896 on buying an air conditioner. 2. **Calculate the total amount spent**: \[ \text{Total spent} = 55760 + 37896 \] \[ \text{Total spent} = 93656 \] 3. **Determine the remaining amount**: According to the problem, the remaining amount is 54% of the total amount \( X \). Therefore, we can express this as: \[ \text{Remaining amount} = X - 93656 \] 4. **Set up the equation**: Since the remaining amount is also equal to 54% of \( X \), we can write: \[ X - 93656 = 0.54X \] 5. **Rearranging the equation**: To isolate \( X \), we can rearrange the equation: \[ X - 0.54X = 93656 \] \[ 0.46X = 93656 \] 6. **Solve for \( X \)**: Now, divide both sides by 0.46 to find \( X \): \[ X = \frac{93656}{0.46} \] \[ X = 203,000 \] Thus, the total amount Raghav had is **Rs. 203,000**.
