Question

After having spent $35\%$ of the money on machinery, $40\%$ on raw materiall and $10\%$ on staff, a person is left with Rs. $60,000$. Find the total amount of money spent on machinery and the raw material.

Answer 1

Let the original money be Rs. 100

Then, money spent on machinery $=Rs35$.

Money spent on raw material $=Rs40$

Money spent on staff $=Rs10$

Money left $=100-85=Rs15$

If money left is Rs 15, original money =Rs 100

If money left is Rs 60,000, then original money

$=\frac{100\ast 60,000}{15}=Rs4,00,000$

Money spent on machinery and raw material $=4,00,000\ast 75\%=Rs3,00,000$.
