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
