Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Aneesh spend 3/7 of his money on a SHIRT

1/2 of the remainder on a pair of trousers

Let the AMOUNT of money that Aneesh had INITIALLY be ' x '

Now,

3/7 of x , he spend on his shirt

Amount spend on shirt = 3/7 * x =

Amount of money left = x - =

According to question,

He spent 1 / 2 of on his trousers

Amount spend on trousers = * =

Also,

Amount of money left with him = $23

So,

Total money he had = Money spend on shirt + Money spend on Trousers + Money left

x = + +23

x = + 23

x =

7x = 5x + 161

7x - 5x = 161

2x = 161

x = 80.5

Therefore,

In total he had $80.5 with him

Money spend = Total money - Money saved

Money spend = $80.5 - $23

Money spend = $57.5

Hence,

Aneesh spend $57.5 altogether
