Question

mr lim gave $1200 to his mother. he then spent 3/5 of his remaining money on a computer. in the end he had 1/5 of his original amount left. how much money did he have at first

Answer 1

Let the initial money be x so by question,
3x/5 +1x/5+1200=x
or, 1200= x - 4x/5
or, 1200 = 1x/5
or, 6000= x
hence the initial money was 6000$
