A woman spent Rs. 150 on making a dish. This was 30% of the money she had before. Find the amount she had before

Rs. 500 if I'm not wrong.

I hope it will be useful.

The lady had Rs. 500 before she made the pie.

Step-by-step explanation:

(First off, I'm not sure what Rs. means, so I'm going to assume it means rupees.)

Since this lady spent Rs. 150 on a dish and it was 30% of what she had before, we need to make an equation.

x(0.30) = 150,

where x is what the lady had before.

This is relatively easy, where all we have to do is divide each side by 0.30.

This lady had Rs. 500 before she started making the dish.

To check, we'll go the easier route: fractions.

Then, we need to divide 150 by 3 (which equals 50). Multiply 50 by 10, plug that in for x, and simplify.

Done!

(Actually, I don't know if the fraction route was easier after all! By the way, she had Rs. 350 after she made the dish. I wonder what that dish was?)
