Hi ,
It is given that ,
€ 1.40 = $ 1 --- ( 1 )
Total amount = amount spent + amount left
= € 50 + € 34
= € 84
Total amount Sam starts = $( 84 / 1.40 )
= $ 60
I hope this helps you.

Find total € he had:
Total sum = Total Spent + Total left
Total sum = €50 + €34 = €84
Find the amount in $:
$1 = €1.40 (given)
€1.40 = $1
€1 = 1 ÷ 1.40 = $ 5/7
€84 = 5/7 x 84 = $60
Answer: He had $60 to start with.
