Let the total amount of money Emeka had initially be represented by \( x \).
According to the problem, Emeka spent \( \frac{3}{8} \) of his money, which means he has \( \frac{5}{8} \) of his money left.
The amount of money he has left is given as 45 Naira. Therefore, we can write the equation as:
\[
\frac{5}{8}x = 45
\]
To find \( x \), we can isolate it by multiplying both sides of the equation by \( \frac{8}{5} \):
\[
x = 45 \times \frac{8}{5}
\]
Calculating this:
\[
x = 45 \times 1.6 = 72
\]
Thus, Emeka initially had **72 Naira**.
