A man gives \( 40 \% \) of his money to his children and \( 20 \% \) of the remaining to a trust. If he is still left with \( \mathrm{Rs} .9,600 \) then what did he originally have?

  • A. Rs.14, 000
  • B. Rs.19, 845
  • C. Rs.20, 000
  • D. Rs.25, 409

Step-by-step solution

Let original amount be x. After giving 40% to children, remaining = 0.6x. Then gives 20% of that to trust, so remaining = 0.6x - 0.2*0.6x = 0.48x. This equals 9600, so x = 9600 / 0.48 = 20000.
