a man had $1200 in his pockect . he lost 12 1/2 of his money and spent 70% of the remainder . how much money was left with him?
To find out how much money the man had left after losing a portion and spending another portion, we can follow these calculations step by step:
1. Calculate the amount of money the man lost:
The man lost 1/2 percent (or 0.5%) of his 1200 rupees.
So, the amount of money he lost is: 0.5/100 * 1200 = 6 rupees.
2. Calculate the remaining money after the loss:
To find the remainder, subtract the amount lost from the total initial amount:
Remaining money = 1200 - 6 = 1194 rupees.
3. Calculate the amount the man spent:
The man spent 70% of the remaining money.
To find the amount spent, multiply the remaining money by 70% (or 0.7):
Amount spent = 1194 * 0.7 = 835.8 rupees (rounded to the nearest rupee).
4. Calculate the final amount of money left with the man:
To find this, subtract the amount spent from the remaining money:
Money left = Remaining money - Amount spent = 1194 - 835.8 = 358.2 rupees (rounded to the nearest rupee).
Therefore, the man has approximately 358 rupees left with him.
