So he spent 1600 so x will represent original savings so
x-1600
then he spent 2/5 of the remainder on a refrigerator so
[(x-1600)2]/5
he had 1/3 of original savings left
[(x-1600)2]/5=1/3x
distrubute
(2x-3200)/5=1/3x
multiply both sides by 15
3(2x-3200)=5x
distrubute
6x-9600=5x
subtract 5x from both sides
x-9600=0
add 9600 to both sides
x=9600

When l : length. w: with and h: hight

As we often considered strange, you can always multiply a whole number by a whole number and always get a whole number, and there is no decimal number about the 3 dementions like the boxes you have been describing so far. So It is impossible.
