Question

3. Last week I spent half my money on a new jacket. Then
I spent half of what I had left on a new pair of jeans. I
was left with Rs. 32.94. How much money did I spend?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 131.76

Step-by-step explanation:

So, Let us take the money you had in the starting to be x

You spent x/2 rupees on a jacket and 1/2 of x/2 on a pair of jeans.

1/2 of x/2 becomes 1/2 * x/2 = x/4

So the total amount of money spent is $\frac{2x + x}{4}$ which is 3x/4

Now, the amount you have left after spending this much is $x - \frac{3x}{4}$

which is $\frac{4x-3x}{4}$ = x/4.

Now we know that The amount you had left is Rs. 32.94

So x/4 = 32.94

x = 32.94 * 4

x = 131.76

Answer 2

Answer:

98.82

Step-by-step explanation:

because

let the money be x

Spent on jacket =x÷2

Spent on jeans of remaining=x÷2÷2=x÷4

total money spent=x÷2+x÷4=3x÷4

Money left=x-3x÷4=x÷4=32.94

x=32.94×4=131.76

Money spent=131.76-32.94

=98.82
