Ans Rs.80
He was having 100% amount with him
He spent 100-20 = 80-5%(80*5/100=4) = 76%
Then he spent 120 for gifting and he left with 1400
1400+120 = 1520 = 76%
1520*100/76 = 2000
Rs 2000 was the amount he was having with at first
20% on article = 2000*20/100 = 400 2000-400 = 1600
5% on transport 1600*5/100 = 80Rs
