Question

Steven has some money if he spends nine dollars then he will have 3/5 of the amount he started with

Answer 1

X - 9 = 3/5x
x - 0.6x = 9
0.4x = 9
x = 22.5
22.5 - 9 = 13.5

Therefore, Steven will have $13.50.
Im not entirely sure. You have to recheck this with someone else. Im having a brain fart right now lol

Answer 2

Total money * fraction = part

`x* (3)/(5) =9 \\ ( (5)/(3)) * (3x)/(5) = 9* (5)/(3) \\ x= (45)/(3) =15`
