Savitri has a sum of Rs x. She spent Rs 1000 on grocery, Rs 500 on clothes and Rs 400 on education, and received Rs 200 as a gift. How much money (in Rs) is left with her?
Given sum of money Savitri has = Rs x
Expenses made by her:
Grocery = Rs 1000
Clothes = Rs 500
Education = Rs 400
Total expenses = 1000 + 500 + 400 = 1900
Money left with her after deducting expenses = Rs (x – 1900)
Money received as gift = Rs 200
Hence, money left with her after adding gifted money = (x – 1900) + 200
⇒ Money left with Savitri = Rs (x – 1700)
