After subtracting 15% from a certain amount and then again subtracting 25% from the remainder, Rs 4,335 is left. Find the original amount.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Rs 6,800.
Let the original sum be x
⇒ x × 85% × 75% = 4335
⇒ x × 85/100 × 75/100 = 4335
⇒ x = (4335 × 100 × 100)/(75 × 85)
⇒ x = 43350000/(75 × 85) = 6,800
