Answer 1

Answer:

MONEY SPENT ON MUSIC IS $48

Step-by-step explanation:

Money Victor has = $600

Money spent= 40% of $600

= 40/100×600

= $240

Let the money spent in clothes , books , music be 10x, 2x , 3x respectively

Now, 10x + 2x + 3x = 240

=> 15x = 240

=> x = 240/15 = 16

THUS, MONEY SPENT ON MUSIC

=> 3x = 3× 16 = $48
