from what i understand, .....
she gives 20% to archana and 40% to mukti.
that's total of 60% she gave away.
she has 40% left.
let x = the amount she started with.
.4 * x = 30
solve for x to get x = 30 / .4 = 75
she started with 75.
she gives 20% to archana = 15.
she gives 40% to mukti = 30.
she gave away a total of 45.
she has 75 - 45 = 30 left.
looks ok to me.
