Answer 1

Answer:

2250

Step-by-step explanation:

let bittu have x ruppe

he spent 1/3 of. x than remained x-x/3=2x/3

than 1/4of 2x /3 = x/6

now remaining x/2

again spent 2/5of x/2=x/5

that is equal to 450

hence x = 2250

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total money be x

$on \: \: books \: \: = \frac{x}{3}$

Remaining

$= x - \frac{x}{3} \\ = \frac{2x}{3}$

$on \: \: food \: = \: \frac{1}{4} (x - \frac{x}{3} ) \\ \\ = \frac{x}{6}$

$remaining \: \: = \frac{2x}{3} - \frac{x}{6} = \frac{x}{2}$

$travel \: = \frac{2}{5} ( \frac{x}{2} ) = \frac{x}{5}$

$remaining \: \: = \frac{x}{2} - \frac{x}{5} = \frac{3x}{10}$

So this remaining money is ₹450

then

$\frac{3x}{10} = 450 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \\ x = \frac{450 \times 10}{3} = 1500$

then he had ₹1500
