Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 75

Step-by-step explanation:

let the total amount with Mahesh be x

he spent on cakes 2/5 of x

amount remaining with him = 45

$x - \frac{2x}{5} = 45 \\ \frac{5x - 2x}{5} = 45 \\ 5x - 2x = 45 \times 5 \\ 3x = 45 \times 5 \\ x = \frac{45 \times 5}{3} \\ x = 15 \times 5 \\ x = 75$

therefore the money Mahesh had at first is Rs. 75
