Given:
After deduction of 4 paisa in a Rupee a sum of Rs 720 is left.
To find:
The original amount.
Solution:
We know that,
1 Rs. = 100 paisa
After deduction of 4 paisa in a Rupee, we get
[tex]100-4=96[/tex]
It means Rs. 720 is the 96% of the original amount.
Let x be the original amount.
[tex]720=\dfrac{96}{100}x[/tex]
[tex]72000=96x[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{72000}{96}=x[/tex]
[tex]750=x[/tex]
Therefore, the original amount is Rs. 750.
