The method of doing this question a man spends 3/8 of his money and still has Rs.720 left with him. How much money did he have at first.

let,

• the money he have first be rs x

$\huge{\mathcal{Given :- }}$

• 3/8 of x he spent and left 720

now ,

→ x - 3x/8 = 720

→ (8x-3x)/8 = 720

→ 5x/8 = 720

→ 5x = 5760

→ x = 1152

$\huge{\mathcal{Hence:-}}$
