Question

Faizal had some money. he spent 1/5 of it on a toaster and 1/5 of remainder in 3 fans. the toaster cost $66 more than a fan. find the price of the toaster

Answer 1

Let the price of fan be y and total amount of money be x

Price of fan = 1/5(y-y/5)

x = 1/5 4y/5

x = 4y/25

Price of toaster = y/5

$ 66 + x = y/5

$ 66 + 4y/25 = y/5

$ 66 = y/25

y = $ 66 × 25

y = $ 1650

Price of toaster = y/5 = 1650/5

= $ 330
