it is a nice math trick!!!
how???
If we add remaining money ,we get 51..
now if we add first two numbers of remaining money(30 and 15),we get 45..
.Now ,how much money we have in our hand??its 50...what is 50-45???it is 5..
.but the next number in the remaining money column is 6...
So the 1 in the answer comes from 6...
by the by, we should never add the remaining money...we should find the remaining money by subtracting the total spent from the total money...
