(1/4)x+(1/4*1/2)x=700
i made a i little error in my previous post
here
(1/4)x+(1/4*2/5)x=700
solve for x
x=33.3
x/4+2x/20=700...mucg easier now rit? just find x
nope. He spent that money, and 700 was left. So,

x - x/4 - 2x/5 = 700
x = 2000

1/4 of 2000 = 500
2/5 of 2000 = 800
So, he spent 1300, leaving 700
