A boy spent half of his money on sweet and one quarter of on kolanut if he has 6.00 left how much is the original amount

Answer 1

spent 3/4 of it so had 1/4 left
x/4 = 6
x = 24

Answer 2

original --- x
He spent 1/2 of that, then another 1/4, so he spent 3/4 of his money
(1/4)x = 6
x = 24

check:
sweets --- (1/2)24 = 12
nut -----(1/4)24 = 6
so he spent 18, leaving him with 6

OR, if the wording was " .. and one quarter of the remainder on kolanut ..."
then:
spent on sweets ---- 12 , leaving him with 1/2 x
spent 1/4 of that on nut, (1/4)(1/2)x = 1/8 x

so he spent 1/2 x + 1/8 x or (5/8)3, that would leave 3/8 x
3/8 x = 6
3x = 48
x = 16

So you decide how you should have typed it
