Question

Bertie has just had a big win at the lotterey. He spends 4/5 of his money on a large house. He spends 3/4 of his remaining money on a luxury yacht. He spends 2/3 of his remaining money on a trip to space. He gives the remaining $50,000 to charity. How much money did he win?

Answer 1

Answer:

Total money = $30,00,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

4/5 money spend on house

3/4 remaining money spend on luxury yacht

2/3 remaining money spend on trip to space

Remaining $50,000 to charity

Find:

Total money

Computation:

Assume Total money = x

So,

Spend on house = [4x/5]

Spend on luxury yacht = [x-4x/5]3/4 = 3x/20

Spend on trip to space = [x/5-3x/20]2/3 = x/30

Remaining money = x/20 - x/30 = x/60 = $50,000

So,

x/60 = $50,000

x = $300,000

Total money = $30,00,000
