Question

after spending 5 / 9 of his salary . a man has 160 $ left . what amount did he spend ?

Answer 1

spent percentage = 5/9
left percentage => 9/9 - 5/9 = 4/9
left amount = 160/-
4/9 =160
1/9 = 160/4
1/9 =40

amount spent = 5/9
1/9 * 5
40 *5
200

∴amount spent is 200/-

Answer 2

• spend percentage =5/9
• after spending he remains with 4/9 I.e ( total - spend percentage) which is 1-5/9=4/9
• now
• 4/9*x=160
• 4x=1440
• x=360
• then
• 360-160 =$200 answet
