food = 1/5 X 2x/3 = 2x/15

balance = 2x/3 - 2x/15= 8x/15

travel = 1/4 X 8x/15 = 2x/15

Answer 2

Answer:

Rs. 2500/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total money be x.

money on books = x/3.

money on food = 2x/3 * 1/4 = x/6.

Money left is = x - (x/3+ x/6) = x/2

money on travel = x/2 * 2/5 = x/5.

total money spent = x/3 + x/6 + x/5 =   10x + 5x + 6x/ 30 = 7x/10.

Money left = x - 7x/10 = 3x/10.

This should equal 250.

3x/10 = 250

x = Rs. 2500/3
