Question 70

Mr. Stark gave 30% of the money he had to Bruce. He also gave 30% of the remaining amount to each of Natasha, Captain and Vision. Half of the remaining amount he spent on miscellaneous items, and the remaining amount of ₹14,000 he deposited in Marvel's Fund. How much money did Mr. Stark initially have?

Solution

Let's assume the initial money Mr. Stark has is 100y.

Mr. Stark gave 30% of the money he had to Bruce.

Money got by Bruce = 100y of 30%

= $$100y\times\ \frac{30}{100}$$

= 30y

Money remaining after money received by Bruce = 100y-30y

= 70y

He also gave 30% of the remaining amount to each of Natasha, Captain and Vision.

Now money remaining = 70y of (100-30-30-30)%

= 70y of (100-90)%

= 70y of 10%

= 7y

Half of the remaining amount he spent on miscellaneous items, and the remaining amount of ₹14,000 he deposited in Marvel's Fund.

$$7y\times\ \frac{1}{2}\ =\ 14000$$

$$\frac{y}{2}\ =\ 2000$$

y = 4000

So the money Mr. Stark initially have = 100y

= $$100\times4000$$

= 400000
