Asked by My sus
                Jason spent 1/3 of his money on a basketball. He spent 3/4 of the
remaining money on a badminton racket. He spent another $5 on his
lunch and had 1/8 of the original amount of money left. How much did this
badminton racket cost?

    cost of racket ... (1 - 1/3) * 3/4 = 1/2 of total money (m)
m - m/3 - m/2 - 5 = m/8
solve for m , then substitute back to find the cost of the racket
    
m - m/3 - m/2 - 5 = m/8
solve for m , then substitute back to find the cost of the racket

    Ok
(1 - 1/3) * 3/4 = 1/2
m - m/3 - m/2 - 5 = m/8
m = 120
1/2 * 120 = 60
    
(1 - 1/3) * 3/4 = 1/2
m - m/3 - m/2 - 5 = m/8
m = 120
1/2 * 120 = 60
