Question

Suresh has $Rs.25,000$ in his savings bank account on March 1. On April 1 he deposited $Rs.5,000$. He withdrew $\dfrac{1}{3}$ of his balance on May 1. Find his balance after his withdrawal?

Answer 1

Hint: Here in this question, we deal with the basic calculation. This question involves the usage of operations such as addition, subtraction and multiplication. Firstly, we will have to add the amount of money deposited by Suresh till April 1, then we will have to find the $\dfrac{1}{3}$ of the total amount deposited and then reduce it from the total amount. This will give us his balance amount in his bank account.

Complete step by step solution:
Suresh has a savings bank account and has $Rs.25,000$ in it on March 1. He even deposited $Rs.5,000$ more in his account on April 1. He withdrew $\dfrac{1}{3}$ of his total amount on May 1.
We have to find out the remaining balance in his bank account after his withdrawal.
Now, according to the question,
Amount in account on March 1 =$Rs.25,000$
Amount deposited in bank account on April 1 =$Rs.5,000$
Total amount in bank account =$Rs.25,000 + Rs.5,000 = Rs.30,000$
Amount withdrawn on May 1 =$\dfrac{1}{3} \times 30,000 = 10,000$
Remaining amount in bank account = $Rs.30,000 - Rs.10,000 = Rs.20,000$
Therefore, the balance in Suresh’s bank account after withdrawal is $Rs.20,000$.
