Quantitative Aptitude( Paper-I ) Percentage

Aaron had $ 2100 left after spending 30 % of the money he took for shopping. How much money did he take along with him?

$ 2100

$ 2500

$ 3000

$ 3500

Let the money he took for shopping be m.

Money he spent = 30 % of m = 30/100 × m

= 3/10 m

Money left with him = m – 3/10 m = (10m – 3m)/10 = 7m/10

But money left with him = $ 2100

Therefore 7m/10 = $ 2100

m = $ 2100× 10/7

m = $ 21000/7

m = $ 3000

Therefore, the money he took for shopping is $ 3000.

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
