Jaine spent 2/5 of the money in his wallet on a sweat. After purchasing the sweater he had 25.32 leftover. What was the total amount he spent on the sweater?

Answer 1

3/5 M=25.32
M= 5/3 * 25.32

sweater= 2/5 *M=2/5*5/3*25.32
= 2/3 * 25.32

Answer 2

25.32= 3/5

25.32 divided by 3= 8.44

8.44 = 1/5

8.44 times 2= 16.88

2/5 = 16.88

Jaine spent 16.88 pounds on her sweater.
