Answer 2

Answer :

• 180

Given :

• Money given by mother = 1200
• Spent in buying books = 1/4
• Spent in Buying books = 3/5

To find :

• how much money is left with her​

Solution :

⇒ Let's find the money spent on buying books.

Money spent on buying books = 1/4 × 1200

= 1 × 1200/4

= 1200/4

= 300

⇒ Let's find the money spent on buying clothes.

Money spent on buying clothes = 3/5 × 1200

= 3 × 1200/5

= 3600/5

= 720

⇒ Now, let's find the money left. [Let the money left with her be x].

1200 = x + 300 + 720

1200 = x + 1020

x = 1200 - 1020

x = 180

• Therefore, the money left with her is 180.
