Of the total amount received by Kiran, 20% was spent on purchases and 5% of the remaining on transportation. If he is left with Rs.1520, the initial amount was

• Let the amount received is Rs.100
  Spent on purchases:Rs.20
  Remaining is Rs.80
  Transport is 5% on Rs.80=Rs.4
  Thus Left Over amount is Rs.76(100-20-4)
  When Rs. 76 is the leftover amount, amount received is Rs.100
  When amount left is Rs.1520, amount received is: (100/76)*1520=Rs.2000

• If initial amt was x, then
  remaining amount = 0.8*0.95*x= 1520
  x= 1520/0.76 = Rs 2000

• 20 % was spent.......5% 0f other 80%=4% so total 24% was spent....
  
  76%=1520(20 times 0f 76)
  
  so 100%=2000(20 times of 100)

• the total amount received by Kiran is say 'x'
  20% was spent on purchases then x*20/100=0.2*x
  5% of the remaining on transportation then(x-.2*x)*5/100=.04*x
  he is left with Rs.1520,then
  x=.2*x+.04*x+1520
  then x=2000

• The initial amount was 2000.
  
  1520/95*5=80
  1520+80=1600
  
  1600/80*20=400
  1600+400=2000

• (x*80/100)*95/100=2000

• 2000
  let sp = x
  therefore cp = .2x
  transport cost = .8*.5 =.04x
  so x -.2x-.04x = 1520
  so x= 2000
