A person spends 20 percent of his money on clothes, 10 percent on books, 9 percent on purchasing gifts and 7 percent on some other items. At the end he is left with Rs. 5400. How much money did the person have initially?
ARs. 8000
BRs. 9000
CRs. 12000
DRs. 10000 ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) Rs. 10000
Explanation
The person began with Rs. 10000.
Total spent = 20 + 10 + 9 + 7 = 46% of the money.
Money left = 100 - 46 = 54%.
54% of the total = 5400.
Total = 5400 x 100/54 = 10000.
