This is a working backwards problem. You know he has $35 at the end. Before he gave his brother $5, he would have $40, which is half of what he had before he bought the clothes, so he would have had $80. Before he spent the $40 on shoes, he would have had $120, so the answer is $120.

Después de 15 meses de haber prestado un capital al 5% de rédito, tengo que pagar de interés Q468.75. ¿Qué capital se ha prestad

The capital borrowed, or the principal when the interest was Q468.75 is <u>Q7500</u>.

The principal P, amount borrowed, at a certain rate of interest R%, for a time of T years, giving an interest of I, can be calculated using the formula:

P = (I * 100)/(R * T).

In the question, we are asked to find the capital borrowed, that is, the principal, when the user pays Q468.75 after 15 months at 5% of income.

Thus, Interest (I) = Q468.75, rate of interest (R) = 5%, and time (T) = 15 months = 15/12 years = 1.25 years.

Thus, the principal P, can be calculated by substituting the values in the formula: P = (I * 100)/(R * T).

P = (468.75*100)/(5*1.25),

or, P = 46875/6.25,

or, P = 7500.

Thus, the capital borrowed, or the principal when the interest was Q468.75 is <u>Q7500</u>.

The provided question is in Spanish. The question in English is:

"After 15 months of having borrowed capital at 5% of income, I have to pay Q468.75 in interest. What capital has been borrowed?"
