Question

While in another country, a businessman spent 1/4 of his money on food and 1/3 of it on transportation. If he had $1250 left, how much money did he have originally?

Answer 1

Explanation:

1/4+1/3=0.58333333333

100-0.58333333333=41.6666666667

so 41.6666666667% of his original money=1250

divide this number by 41.6666666667 to get 1%

1250/41.6666666667=30

Multiply it by 100 to get 100% of his original money.

30*100=3000
