Question
Raj had some savings at first. Then he earned another 4955 buying a necklace for his mother. After that, he had $17,638 left. How much savings did Raj have at first?
Solution
To find out how much savings Raj had at first, we need to follow these steps:
-
First, we need to add the amount Raj spent on Mother's Day to the amount he had left after buying the necklace. So, 17638 (amount left) = $22593.
-
Then, we subtract the amount Raj earned from the total we calculated in the first step. So, 2420 (amount earned) = $20173.
Therefore, Raj had $20173 as savings at first.
