If Chameli had ₹ 600 left after spending 75% of her money, how much did she have in the beginning?

Solution:

Given that Cameli spends 75% of her money

Since the whole is considered as 100%, the percentage of the amount left with Chameli is (100 - 75)% = 25%

Let the total amount Chameli had with her, in the beginning be x

Percentage of the amount left with Chameli = (100 - 75)% = 25%

And, 25% of x = 600

⇒ (25/100) × x = 600

⇒ x = (600 × 100) / 25

⇒ x = 2400
