Answer:

Man has total $8000 money

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total money he had be x

Now, as he spent [tex]\frac{15}{16}[/tex] of his money in buying a car

and, it is also given that price of car is $7500

So, we can write it as,

[tex]\frac{15}{16} \times x = 7500[/tex]

⇒[tex]x= \frac{7500 \times16}{15}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]x=\frac{120000}{15}\\[/tex]

⇒ x = 8000

Hence, before buying car he has $8000.
