Naveena spent ₹1,800 on a dress and ₹3,270 on books and notebooks. She was still left with 35% of the total amount she had originally. Find the total amount she had originally.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. ₹7,800.

Let the total amount = x

Spent = 1800 + 3270 = 5070

Remaining = 35% of x

So, spent = 65% of x

⇒ 65% of x = 5070

⇒ x = 7800
