Question

Arjun spends 2/5 of his money and has 90 left. How much did he have initially

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the to total amount be x

Given he spent 2/5 of x,and result is 90

therefore the equation is

$\frac{2}{5} x = 90 \\ 2x = 5 \times 90 \\ 2x = 450 \\ x = \frac{450}{2} \\ x = 225$

hope it helps

Answer 2

Let the amount be x
He spends 2/5
So now remaining is 3/5
3/5 x is 90
X is 150
