Answer:
2000
Step by step solution:
Let x be the amount of the game.
At first you have 80% of the amount. So, it is 0.8x.
15% of that, you used, that is (0.8x)(0.15)
We subtract that to the initial amount, 0.8x-(0.8x)(0.15)
The difference is 640 less than the amount of game, x - 640
So, we have x - 640 = 0.8x - (0.8x)(0.15)
Solve for x.
x = 2000
