On a shipping trip, Karim spent 1/3 of his money for a jacket and another Tk. 5 for a hat. If he still had 1/2 of his money left, how much money did he save originally? Correct Answer TK 30
Let Karim has Tk. x initially. ATQ x - [(x/3) + 5] = x/2 or,6x - [2x + 30] = 3x, or or,6x - 2x - 3x = 30, or ∴ x = 30 ans: 30 tk
