Question

A man spend 12 1/2 of his money and he is left with $140 how much money had at first

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total money = x

Money left = $140

According to the Question:

12 1/2 of x - x = 140

25/2 × x - x = 140

(25x - 2x)/2 = 140 [LCM = 2]

23x/2 = 140

23x = 140 × 2

23x = 280

x = 280/23
