Out of 240 candies, 30% of the candies were given to Rahul and the remaining to Ashok. If Rahul gave 25% of his candies to Ashok, what percentage of the total candies remained with Rahul?
1). 15%
2). 20%
3). 25%
4). 22.5%
No. of candies given to Rahul = 30% of 240 = 0.3 × 240 = 72
No. of candies remained with Rahul = (100 – 25)% of 72 = 0.75 × 72 = 54
Required percentage = (54/240) × 100 = 22.5%
∴ 22.5% of the total candies remained with Rahul
