Example: Mrs. Gopal has some $2, $5 and $10 notes in her purse. The number of $5 notes was 1/3 the number of $2 notes. The number of $10 notes was 1/2 the number of $2 notes. After spending all her $10 and the 2/3 of her $2 notes she had $210 left in her purse. How much money did she spend altogether. |
