initially had.

Answer 1

Answer:

heyy there!! this is your answer and i hope that it will help you.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let initial money that Mr. X had = Rs. x

Money spent on buying a pen = 10×1\4 = Rs. 2.5

Money spent on buying food = 25×3\4 = Rs. 18.75

Total money spent = Rs 2.5 + Rs 18.75 = Rs. 21.25

Remaining money = initial money - mony spent = Rs. X - Rs. 21.25

A.T.Q

remaining money = money given to friend

X - 21.25 = 16× 1\2

X - 21.25 = 8

X = 8 + 21.25 = Rs. 29.25
