A boy spent 20% of his money on books and 20% of the remainder on food.If he had $2000 left, how much money did he have at first

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

$\$3,125$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $s$ represent the amount of money he initially started with.

After he spent 20% on books, he will have $100\%-20\%=80\%$ of his initial money left. We can represent this as $0.8s$ .

Following that, the boy spends 20% of the remainder of his money on food. Similarly, he will have $100\%-20\%=80\%$ of the remainder of money he had left after he purchased the books. Therefore, he ends up with $0.8(0.8s)=0.64s$ of his money left.
