greg has some money .he spend 1/3 on computer games , he went to fun park and spend 3/4 of the remainder. if he had $40 left , how much money did greg have initially
Answers
Answer:
"240 dollar"
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Greg has "x" money initially.
He spend on computer game = 1/3 of x = (1 / 3) × x = x / 3
He has remaining money after spending on game = x - (x / 3)
= 2x / 3
He spend in park = 3 / 4 of remaining money
= (3 / 4) of (2x / 3)
= (3 / 4) × (2x / 3)
= x / 2
He has money after spending in park = (2x / 3) - (x / 2)
= x / 6 ................(1)
But according to given condition in the question
Remaining amount of Greg = 40 dollar .................(2)
by comparing equation (1) and (2)
(x / 6) = 40
x = 40 × 6
x = 240 dollar
So Greg has initially 240 dollars.
