Akin has some money in a box. If 3/8 of the money is N4.80. How much money does he have in the box
Show workings
Let's let the total amount of money in the box be "x".
Then according to the problem, we know that:
3/8 * x = N4.80
To solve for x, we can start by isolating x on one side of the equation. To do this, we'll multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 3/8, which is 8/3:
(8/3) * (3/8) * x = (8/3) * N4.80
Simplifying, we get:
x = (8/3) * N4.80
Multiplying the fractions and simplifying further, we get:
x = N12.80
Therefore, Akin has N12.80 in the box.
