Paul spent 1/4 of his money on snacks and 2/3 on clothes and remained with 200.00
What is your question?
To find out how much money Paul originally had, we can work backwards.
Let's assume the original amount of money Paul had was represented by 'x'.
According to the information given, Paul spent 1/4 of his money on snacks. This means he had 3/4 of his money remaining.
So, the amount remaining after spending on snacks is 3/4 * x.
Paul then spent 2/3 of the remaining money on clothes, which means he had 1/3 of the remaining money remaining.
So, the amount remaining after spending on clothes is 1/3 * (3/4 * x).
According to the problem, Paul had $200 remaining after spending on snacks and clothes.
Thus, we have the equation: 1/3 * (3/4 * x) = 200.
To solve for x, we can simplify the equation: 1/3 * (3/4 * x) = 200 becomes x/4 = 200.
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 4 gives us x = 800.
Therefore, Paul originally had $800.
