Question 1210614: Leo spent 25% of his savings on 3 gaming mice and 5 charging cables on Friday. The cost of one gaming mouse was three times the cost of one charging cable.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Something is wrong with this problem,
We know that one gaming mouse cost as much as 3 charging cables on Friday.
Let's call the cost of one charging cable on Friday one blip.
Then the cost of a gaming mouse on Friday was 3 blips.
On Friday Leo spent money on 3 gaming mice and 5 charging cables.
The amount Leo spent on Friday, in blips, is
Those  Leo spent on Friday were   of his savings.
That means that all of Leo's savings, in blips were 
On Saturday, Leo's remaining savings, were 
On Saturday Leo spent  of his remaining savings.
In blips, the amount Leo spent on Saturday was 
There was a typo somewhere, or else the prices changed, because with whole number prices, the total spent would always be a whole number.
