Question

Kofi uses 1/3 of his money to buy food,2/5 sweets and the rest to buy books. If he spent Gh¢100.00 on books.find his total money?

Answer 1

the fraction part for books =1-(1/3+2/5)=1-11/15
=4/15
that means books fraction 4/15 of total money
suppose the total money is equal to say x
then money spent by Kofi for books =4/15x
4/15x=100
then x=375
total money is 375c
