Junaid saved some amount out of his pocket money. He distributed 3/8 of it among his brothers. If he gave Rs. 78 to his brothers, what was the amount that Junaid had Initially?

Explanation

Let's denote the initial amount Junaid had as x.

Given:

3/8 of x = 78

(3/8) * x = 78

To find x, multiply both sides by 8/3:

x = 78 * (8/3)

x = 208
