I shopped in 4 shops 1 after another. In the end I had no money. In each shop I
Spent Rs 2 more than 20% of what I had when I entered each shop. How much
did I have in the beginning

• let take from back
  at shop no 4 when i spend 20% of the money i left after spending in shop 3 let it be x.then according to question .8x-2=0(.8 coz it the money i have after spending in shop no 4 and -2 bcoz Rs 2 is spend more and finally i hv Rs o)
  so .8x-2=0
  then x=2.5
  then at shop 3
  2.5+2=4.5
  .8*y=4.5
  y=5.625
  then shop 2
  5.625+2=7.625
  .8*z=7.625
  z=9.531
  at shop 1
  9.531+2=11.531
  .8*s=11.531
  s=14.414
