Question

after spending 5by 9 of her money nidhi had ruppes 88 left. how much did he spend
​

Answer 1

Let the total money be x

Thus, money spent = 5x/9

According to the question,

x - 5x/9 = 88

=> (9x - 5x)/9 = 88

=> 4x/9 = 88

=> x = (88)(9)/4

=> x = 198

Thus, money spent = 5x/9 = 5(198)/9 = 110.
