STEP 2: Find the fraction of the money he spent:

2/3 x 3/5 = 2/5

STEP 3: Find the fraction of the money he left:

1 - 2/5 - 2/5 = 1/5

STEP 4: Find the amount of money he lose:

Total money = x

lost money = 2x/3

Money spent = 2/3 of 2x/3 = 4x/9

Money left = 120

x - (2x/3 + 4x/9) = 120

x - 8x/9 = 120

x/9 = 120

x = 1080
