Answer 1

Omar has $117 left to spend.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of money that Omar brought on vacation was x and 35% of x is $63 . This can be written as an equation:

x×35100=63

Multiply both sides by 10035 .

x=63×10035

x=630035

x=180

If the amount of money that Omar brought on vacation was $180 out of which he spent $63 , the balance amount is 180−63 which is $117

Answer 2

Answer: $117

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the money Omar brought with him.

Given : Omar spends $63 on souvenirs during his vacation. That is 35% of the money he brought with him.

We can rewrite 35% as 0.35.

According to the question, we have the following equation

`0.35x=63\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=(63)/(0.35)=(6300)/(35)=180`

Thus, the amount of money he brought with him = $180

Now, after spending $63 , Money he left to spend = $180- $63=$117

Hence, He has $117 left to spend.
