Answer 2

Given:

Rachel spent 1/4 of her pocket money on chocolates and 1/8 on pizza. In the end, she had rupees 40 left.

To Find:

The money she have at the beginning.

Solution:

let she had x rupees.

according to the question,

x/4 of money is spent on chocolate.

x/8 of money is spent on the pizza.

and the money left is 40.

So,

x - x/4 - x/8 = 40

8x - 2x - x = 40 × 8

5x = 320

x = 320/5

x = 64

Hence, she had 40 rupees at beginning.
