32....... ..............

Answer 2

Answer:

At first he had 50 rupees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let boy has x amount of money.

Amount spent = 3/5x

Amount remaining = x - 3/5x

= 2/5x

Then he spent 1/4 amount of money , so

Amount spent 2nd time = 1/4 × 2/5x

= 1/10x

Amount remain = 2/5x - 1/10x

= 3/10x

He was left with 15 rupees .

thus,

3/10x = 15

3x = 150

x = 150/3

x = 50

Therefore he was left with the amount of 50 rupees.
