Sylvan withdrew 2/5 of the amount in his savings account and spent 7/10 of that money. What fraction of his total savings does he still have?
Pretend the wording is:mirnago said:Sylvan withdrew 2/5 of the amount in his savings account and spent 7/10 of that money.
What fraction of his total savings does he still have?
mirnago said:his total savings
I'm not sure what this phrase is supposed to mean.

lookagain said:would you accept the meaning of "the original amount of money in his savings account?"
I would. That meaning is one of the possibilities in my mind.
