Answer:
Rs5000
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the equal amount of money they both brought = x
Mehrine spent Rs 500 on a pair of shoes, therefore, the money Mehrine has left
= x-500
Zaara bought a dress for Rs 2000, therefore, the money Zaara has left
= x-2000
Zaara has ⅔ of what Mehrine had left.
Therefore:
[tex]x-2000=\dfrac{2}{3} (x-500)[/tex]
Cross multiply
3(x-2000)=2(x-500)
3x-6000=2x-1000
3x-2x=6000-1000
x=5000
Therefore, Mehrine brought Rs5000 for shopping.
