Say 50/3 stock is sold den earned amount is 64

Swhen 1500 is earned invested amount is= ?

50/3--- 64
1-------64*3/50
Therefore 1500-------- 64*3/50*1500

Clearly explain why 50/3 is written as 3/50.

Suppose
1oo people complete the task =300days
then 1 people can complete this task=300/100
same as
50/3--- 64
1-------(64/(50/3))

@Ankit please clear your basic and dont misguide others

100 people complete the task =300days
then 1 people can complete this task=300/100

Do these statements make sense.

@pawan, @manikandan

1 x 50/3 = 64

Then

1 = 64 x 3/50

See,

50/3 he is earning when he is investing Rs. 64.

So for earning of Rs.1 he has to invest Rs. 64/(50/3).

So for earning of Rs.1500 he has to invest Rs. 64/(50/3)*1500.
=64*(3/50)*1500
=64*3*1500/50
=Rs. 5760.
