Question

Akin has some money in a box.if 3/8 of the money Is N4.80, how much money does he have in the box​

Answer 1

Answer:

N12.8

Assume the money in the box Is M.

therefore, 3/4 of M=N4.80.

Recall N1=100k..... where k 'kobo'

N4.80=X

X=4.80x100. this gives us 480k.

this implies that 3/4 X M= 480k

therefore by cross multiplication, and dividing by 3; 3M=480 X 4

M = (480 X 4) ÷3

M=1280k

converting from kobo' to Naira. the rate of conversion is;

100k = N1

1280k=?

M in naira= 1280/100

M is N12.8
