Let the cost of a lamp = x

6 lamps would cost 6x

He bought 3 lamps at 3x plus Thad 950 left.

3 lamps plus the 950

Would be the same amount as 6 lamps:

Set up an equation and solve for x:

3x + 950 = 6x

Subtract 3x from both sides:

950 = 3x

Divide both sides by 3:

X = 316.67

Each lamp was $316.67

Multiply the price of a lamp by 6:

316.67 x 6 = 1900

He had $1900

Answer: $1900

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr Lim had enough money to buy 6 similar lamps. However he only bought 3 such lamps. That means he had only spent half of his money (6-3=3).

So, if he take money remaining with him = x = $950

Amount of money he first had = 2x =$950×2 = $1900
