Correct Answer: 2,880
Solution : Let $x$ be the total money. Money lost = 12.5% of $x$ Remaining money after losing = 87.5% of $x$ Money spent = 75% of 87.5% of $x$ Money left = 630 According to the question, 25% of 87.5% of $x= 630$ $⇒\frac{25 × 87.5 × x}{100 × 100} = 630$ $\therefore x=\frac{630 × 100 × 100}{25 × 87.5}= 2880$ Hence, the correct answer is 2,880.
