Question

23. Anil spent 2/5 of his pocket money and had Rs. 180 left. The amount Anil received as pocket money was Rs. 500 O Rs. 300 O Rs. 350 O Rs. 225​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 300

Step-by-step explanation:

He spent 2/5 i.e 0.4

He left with 3/5 (0.6) i.e Rs. 180 ---- (Given)

So 180/0 .6 = Rs. 300

Answer 2

Let the money he received as pocket money be x then
x -2/5 of x = 180
or x -2x/5 = 180
or (5x-2x)/5= 180
or 5x-2x = 180 x 5
or 3x= 900
or x = 300
