A man spends 2/5 of his money and 30 rupees is left . How much money had he initially
0.6x = 30
x = ?
To find out how much money the man initially had, we can set up an equation and solve for the unknown value. Let's assume the man initially had 'x' rupees.
According to the problem, the man spends 2/5 of his money, which means he has 3/5 of his money remaining. We can represent this as:
3/5 * x = 30
To solve for 'x', we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 3/5, which is 5/3:
(5/3) * (3/5) * x = (5/3) * 30
x = 50
Therefore, the man initially had 50 rupees.
