Calculating Total Pocket Money from Spending
This problem requires finding the total pocket money Amit received, given the amounts spent on specific items and the fraction this spending represents of the total pocket money.
Steps to Find Pocket Money
-
Calculate the total amount Amit spent.
Amount spent on shoes = ₹ 150
Amount spent on watch = ₹ 75
Total Amount Spent = ₹ 150 + ₹ 75 = ₹ 225
-
Set up an equation using the given fraction.
The total amount spent (₹ 225) is three-fourth ( (3/4) ) of his total pocket money.
Let 'P' represent the total pocket money.
The equation is: \(₹ 225 = \frac{3}{4} \times P\)
-
Solve for the total pocket money (P).
To find P, rearrange the equation:
\(P = ₹ 225 \div \frac{3}{4}\)
\(P = ₹ 225 \times \frac{4}{3}\)
\(P = \frac{₹ 225 \times 4}{3}\)
\(P = ₹ 75 \times 4\)
\(P = ₹ 300\)
Therefore, the total amount Amit received as pocket money was ₹ 300.
