Question

1 )Liam wants to buy a basket ball. But he realizes half of his money from the 5 pound note fell on the street. He only has a 5 pound note left. How many money did he have to start off with?

Answer 1

He had to start of with 7.5 pounds

Explanation:

We are given that Liam realizes half of his money from the 5 pound note fell on the street.

So, His money fell on street =
`(1)/(2) * 5`

His amount fell on street = 2.5 pounds

We are also given that He only has a 5 pound note left.

So, He had money initially = 5 pounds+2.5 pounds = 7.5 pounds

Hence He had to start of with 7.5 pounds
