Let's call Ibrahim's initial money "x".
We know that he spent 2,500 naira.
We also know that he had 3/5 of his initial money left.
So, we can set up the equation:
3/5x = x - 2,500
To solve for x, we can start by multiplying both sides by 5 (to get rid of the denominator):
3x = 5(x - 2,500)
Distribute:
3x = 5x - 12,500
Subtract 3x from both sides:
-2x = -12,500
Divide both sides by -2:
x = 6,250
So Ibrahim's initial money was 6,250 naira.
After spending to 2,500 naira out of his pocket money Ibrahim still had 3/5 of his inital money left how much was his inital money?
