Question 1205371
<font color=black size=3>
x = starting amount of money
0.57x = amount spent
x - 0.57x = 0.43x = amount leftover
He spent 57% of his money and keeps the remaining 43%.


The phrase "the amount that he spends is ₦7 more than he has left" leads to the equation: 0.57x = 0.43x+7


Let's solve for x.
0.57x = 0.43x+7
0.57x - 0.43x = 7
0.14x = 7
x = 7/0.14
x = <font color=red>50</font>
