Answer 2

The total amount of money he had initially is Rs.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total amount of money be x

He purchased a pen for Rs. 15.

So, Amount left = x-15

We are given that he is still left with 2/5th of his total money

So, $x-15 = \frac{2}{5}x$

$x-\frac{2}{5}x=15$

$\frac{3}{5}x=15$

$x=\frac{15 \times 5}{3}$

$x=25$

Hence the total amount of money he had initially is Rs.25
