Answer:

Man has total $8000 money

Explanation:

Let the total money he had be x

Now, as he spent
(15)/(16) of his money in buying a car

and, it is also given that price of car is $7500

So, we can write it as,

(15)/(16) * x = 7500

⇒
x= (7500 *16)/(15)

⇒
$x=(120000)/(15)\\$

⇒ x = 8000

Hence, before buying car he has $8000.
