Alex,hans and stan savèd up some money to buy a tent fir camping trip. Sran saved 60% of the price . Alex saved 40% of what was left of the price and Hans share of the prics was €30. What was the price of the tent?

Answer 1

Let's call the price of the tent "x".
Since Stan saved 60% of the price, this means he saved 0.6x.
Hans saved €30, so the amount left after Stan's savings and Hans' savings is (x - (0.6x + €30)).
Alex saved 40% of what was left, so he saved 0.4(x - (0.6x + €30)).
Therefore, the equation is:

0.4(x - (0.6x + €30)) = €30

Let's solve for x:
0.4(x - 0.6x - €30) = €30
0.4(-0.2x - €30) = €30
-0.08x - €12 = €30
-0.08x = €42
x = €42 / -0.08
x = -525

Since the price of the tent cannot be negative, there must have been an error in the calculation. Please double-check the question.
