Question

hunter spent 2/3 of his money on a video game before spending half of remaining money on lunch . if his lunch cost $10 ,how much money did he have at first

Answer 1

The answer will be $60.
Let the total money be x.
Then the remaining money after spending on video games will be 1/3x.
It is given that 1/2 of 1/3x =$10
Then 1/3x=$20
Finally, x=3*$20=$60

Answer 2

Answer: Amount of money he have at first is Rs. 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount he have at first be 'x'.

Cost of lunch = $10

According to question, hunter spent 2/3 of his money on a video game before spending half of remaining money on lunch

That means, remaining of $\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{3}$ and half of it spent on lunch.

$\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{1}{2}\times x=10\\\\\frac{1}{6}x=10\\\\x=10\times 6\\\\x=\ 60$

Hence, amount of money he have at first = Rs. 60
