A man distributes 0.375 of his money to his wife and 0.4 to his son. He has still Rs.3,375
left with him. How much did his wife get?

• Let, total money =M.
  So, M*(1-.375-.4)=3375; => M= 3375/(1-.375-.4); => M = 15000
  So,his wife got = 15000*(.375)= 5625.
  So, his wife got Rs. 5625/-
  Thanks to all..:-):-)

• ans:- 5625
  let man's salary is x
  Now,
  x-(x*0.375)-(x*0.4)=3375
  1x-0.375x-0.4x=3375
  1x-0.775x=3375
  0.225x=3375
  x=15000
  now man spend on his wife=15000*0.375=5625

• suppose man's having total money "x".
  so his wife is having 0.375x money and son is having 0.4x
  and he is still having 3375 rs....
  so the equation will be..
  x-(0.375x+0.4x)=3375
  so x=3375/0.225 after solving the equation.
  and we have asked how much wife got.... ie 0.375x we will put the above value f x in this so we get 0.375*3375/0.225= 5625
  ans. rs 5625 is wife's share.

• if that person gave 0.75 to his wife and 0.4 to his son he has left with 0.225 of the remaining i.e., 0.225*x=3375 => x=15000 then his wife gets 15000*0.375=5625

• x-0.375x-0.4x=3375
  x=15000

• let x is the total money
  x-0.375x-0.4x=3375
  0.225x=3375
  x=15000
  total money given to wife=0.375x=15000*0.375=5625

• Let, total money =M.
  So, M*(1-.375-.4)=3375; => M= 3375/(1-.375-.4); => M = 15000
  So,his wife got = 15000*(.375)= 5625.
  So, his wife got Rs. 5625/-

• let us assume man have money initially=x
  he give 0.375 of his money to his wife so he has x-0.375
  and he give 0.4 to his son so he has x-.375x-0.4x
  given that he has still 3375 so
  x-0.775x=3375=>.225x=3375
  x=3375/.225=15000

• ho sorry here the question is howmuch amount his wife get so
  0.375*(15000)=5625
  so the answers is 5625

• total amount is x
  consider total is one part
  so 0.375+0.4+y=1;
  y=0.225;
  225/1000(x)=3375;
  x=5000;
