Aarrgghh! You've had three answers. Why are you wasting your time and our time by posting this over and over?
he was left with 4/7
he gave 1/4 of the 4/7 to his sister
so he was left with 3/4 of the 4/7
so
(3/4)(4/7)x = 120
(3/7) x = 120
x/7 = 40
x = 280
he gave 1/4 of the 4/7 to his sister
so he was left with 3/4 of the 4/7
so
(3/4)(4/7)x = 120
(3/7) x = 120
x/7 = 40
x = 280
I am getting a bit bored with this question as well.
