A man goes to shopkeeper and says that if u give me as much as i have ,
i will spend Rs.10/- on ur shop. shopkeeper agrees and man moves to another shopkeeper ans asked same. at 3rd shop after all the transaction, he was left with no money. find the initial amount with the man

• man has Rs.x
  he leaves-
  1st shop wid Rs.(2x-10)
  2nd shop wid Rs.[2(2x-10)-10]
  3rd shop wid Rs.{2[2(2x-10)-10]-10}=0(since he has no money left)
  so solving the eqn x=8.75
