You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you spent 2/5, you must have 3/5 left, because
\n" ); document.write( "1 - 2/5 = 3/5 .
\n" ); document.write( "If $75 is 3/5 of the money you had, 1/5 is $25=$75/3 .
\n" ); document.write( "Then, the 2/5 you spent is twice that, or $50.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
