Answer:

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
