Let's let the total amount of money in the box be "x".
Then according to the problem, we know that:
3/8 * x = N4.80
To solve for x, we can start by isolating x on one side of the equation. To do this, we'll multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 3/8, which is 8/3:
(8/3) * (3/8) * x = (8/3) * N4.80
Simplifying, we get:
x = (8/3) * N4.80
Multiplying the fractions and simplifying further, we get:
x = N12.80
Therefore, Akin has N12.80 in the box.
Akin has some money in a box. If 3/8 of the money is N4.80. How much money does he have in the box
