Sairam spent Rs. 38460 on the renovation of his home and Rs. 24468 on buying TV set and remained with 28% of the total amount. What was the total amount?

Correct Answer: Rs. 87400

Explanation:

Let the total amount he had with = Rs. p


From the given data,


p - 38460 - 24468 = 28p/100


p - 28p/100 = 24468 + 38460


72p/100 = 62928


72p = 62928 x 100


p = 62928 x 100/72


p = 87400


 


Hence, the total amount he had = p = Rs. 87400.
