After having spent 35% of the money on machinery, 40% on raw material and 10% on staff, a person is left with Rs. 60000. The total amount of money spent on machinery and raw material is
Explanation
Let the original money be Rs.100,
then money spent on machinery = Rs. 35
Money spent on raw material = Rs. 40
Money spent on staff = Rs. 10
Money left = 100 - 85 = Rs. 15
If money left is Rs. 15, original money = 100
If money left is 60000, original money =10015×60000=400000
Hence the total money spent on machinery and raw material =400000×75%=Rs.300000
