Question

Raju and Tom had the same amount of money at first. After Raju spent $2590 and Tom spent $320, Tom had 6 times as many as Raju. How much did Raju have at first?

Answer 1

Answer:

raju had $3044 in the beginning

Step-by-step explanation:

let raju and tom has $x.

a/q

6(x-2590)= x-320

or 6x -  15540= x -320

or 6x-x = -320+15540

or 5x = 15520

or x = 15520/5=  3044

therefore, raju had $3044 in the beginning.
