You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let = amount he had in savings
He withdrew
He spent on shoes
The number of shoes he bought was:
Also, if 80% was spent on shoes, then was the amount left
His original savings was $500
-------------------------------
The number of shoes he bought was:
He bought 10 shoes
He withdrew 60% of the money from his savings and spent 80% of that amount on shoes. So the $60 he had left was 20% of the 60% he withdrew. 20% of 60% is 12%; so $60 is 12% of his original savings.
-->
The amount of his original savings was $500.
He withdrew 60% of his savings:
