Question

Yesterday I spent half my money on a new DVD. Today I spent a third of the money Left to buy a greeting card. I am now Left with RS. 60. How much money did I spend altogether

Answer 1

Find the fraction of money left after spending on the DVD:

$\text {Fraction of money left} = 1 - \dfrac{1}{2}$

$\text {Fraction of money left} = \dfrac{1}{2}$

Find the fraction of money spent on greeting cards:

$\text {Fraction of money spent on greeting cards} = \dfrac{1}{3} \times \dfrac{1}{2}$

$\text {Fraction of money spent on greeting cards} = \dfrac{1}{6}$

Find the fraction of money left:

$\text {Fraction of money left} = \dfrac{1}{2} - \dfrac{1}{3}$

$\text {Fraction of money left} = \dfrac{1}{6}$

Find the fraction of money spent:

$\text {Fraction of money spent} = 1 - \dfrac{1}{6}$

$\text {Fraction of money spent =} \dfrac{5}{6}$

Find the amount of money spent:

$\text {Fraction of money left} = \dfrac{1}{6}$

$\text {amount of money left } = \text {Rs }60$

$\dfrac{1}{6} = \text {Rs } 60$

$\dfrac{5}{6} = \text {Rs } 60\times 5$

$\dfrac{5}{6} = \text {Rs } 300$

Answer: You spent Rs 300 altogether

Answer 2

Total money spended = 120Rs.  

Given:

Yesterday I spent half my money on a new DVD.

Today I spent a third of the money Left to buy a greeting card.

Now I am left with RS. 60.

To find:

How much money did I spend altogether.

Explanation:

Total money I have = A Rs.

Half my money on a new DVD = $\frac{1}{2}$ × A

Remaining money = A- $\frac{1}{2}$ × A =

Today I spent a third of the money Left to buy a greeting card

                                            = $\frac{1}{3}$ × $\frac{1}{2}$ × A = $\frac{1}{6}$ × A

Remaining money =  $\frac{1}{2}$ × A -  $\frac{1}{6}$ × A =  $\frac{1}{3}$ × A

Remaining money I left = 60 Rs.

Remaining money =   $\frac{1}{3}$ × A = 60Rs

                                         A = 60×3 = 180 Rs

Total money I have = A Rs = 180 Rs

Total money spended by me = Total money I have -  Remaining money

                                     = 180 - 60

Total money spended by me = 120Rs.      

Therefore, total money spended by me is Rs. 120.
