Answer:

$40

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraction Navin gave his brother = 1/5

Remainder = 1 - 1/5

5/5 - 1/5 = 4/5

Fraction Navin gave his sister = 4/5 x 5/8 = 1/2

total amount Navin gave his siblings :

[tex]\frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2 + 5}{10}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{7}{10}[/tex]

Fraction that remains = 1 - 7/10

10/10 - 7/10 = 3/10

Let a = amount Navin has initially

3/10 x a = 12

a = (12 x 10) / 2  = $40
