at shop no 4 when i spend 20% of the money i left after spending in shop 3 let it be x.then according to question .8x-2=0(.8 coz it the money i have after spending in shop no 4 and -2 bcoz Rs 2 is spend more and finally i hv Rs o)
so .8x-2=0
then x=2.5
then at shop 3
2.5+2=4.5
.8*y=4.5
y=5.625
then shop 2
5.625+2=7.625
.8*z=7.625
z=9.531
at shop 1
9.531+2=11.531
.8*s=11.531
