\n" ); document.write( "They started with $400 between them and spent $280, finishing with $120.

\n" ); document.write( "Luke spent all his money and Ahmad spent 3/5 of his, so the $120 that remained was 2/5 of what Ahmad started with.

\n" ); document.write( "\"120+=+%282%2F5%29A\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=120%285%2F2%29=300\"

\n" ); document.write( "Ahmad started with $300; he spent 3/5 of it.

\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: 3/5 of $300, which is $180
