Question

1. Last week, I spent half of my money on a new jacket. Then I spent half of what I had left on a new pair of jeans. Finally I was left with 5678. How much money did I spend?​

Answer 1

Answer: Rs 17034

Explanation:

Fraction I spent on jeans

$\frac{1}{2} of \frac{1}{2}$

=$\frac{1}{4}$

Total fraction of money I spent in buying jacket and jeans

$\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4}$

=$\frac{2+1}{4}$

=$\frac{3}{4}$

Remaining fraction of money I have

1 - $\frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{4-3}{4}$

=$\frac{1}{4}$

1/4 is 5678 (1 part)

So, money I spent is 3/4. 5678 x 3

=17034

Rs 17034
