$36 is the money he had at the beginning.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original amount Ahsan had initially be x
Money spent at book store = 2/3 of x = 2x/3
Money left after that = (x - 2x/3)
= [(3x -2x)/3]
= x/3
Money spent at craft store = 1/3 of [x/3]
= x/9
A.T.Q.
x - (2x/3) - (x/9) = 8
(9x - 6x - x)/9 = 8
2x = 8 * 9
x = 72/2
∵ x = 36
Thus, $36 is the money she had at the beginning.
