Question
Saakshi, Sanjay, and Sonia divided the money given by grandparents equally and they went for shopping. They went to a mall and brought certain things. They received a total bill of Rs. 240 which they split amongst themselves and they realized that the total money they were left with was equal to the money each had after the division. What was the total money that they received from grandparents?
Solution
Let's solve this step by step:
-
Let's assume the total money received from grandparents is X.
-
Since Saakshi, Sanjay, and Sonia divided the money equally, each of them got X/3.
-
After shopping, they paid a total bill of Rs. 240, which means each of them paid 240/3 = Rs. 80.
-
According to the problem, the money left with each of them after shopping is also X/3.
-
So, we can set up the equation as follows: X/3 - 80 = X/3.
-
Solving this equation, we find that X = Rs. 240.
So, the total money they received from grandparents was Rs. 240.
