P gave 70% of the amount he had to Q. Q gave
2/5th of that amount to R. After paying Rs.260 to the shopkeeper out of the amount he gets from Q, R is now left with Rs.1560. How much amount did P have?Solution
Let total amount P have Rs. x R have = Rs.1560 Now according to the question, => [x × (70/100) × (2/5)] – 260 = 1560 => x × (70/100) × (2/5) = 1820 => x = 6500 Therefore, P have Rs.6500.
