A man spent 3/5 of his savings and was still left with Rs. 2,000. What were his initial savings?
- Rs. 7000
- Rs. 6000
- Rs. 5000
- Rs. 4000
Explanation
He spent 3/5 of his savings, which means he spent (3/5)x.
He was left with Rs. 2,000, which means his initial savings minus the amount he spent equals Rs. 2,000:
x - (3/5)x = 2,000
Simplifying the equation:
(2/5)x = 2,000
Multiplying both sides by 5/2:
x = 2,000 x 5/2
x = 5,000
So, the man's initial savings were Rs. 5,000.
The correct answer is: Rs. 5,000
