Let x = the number of $5 notes
And 3x = the number of $2 notes.........and after he spends 2/3 of these he has (1/3)(3x ) = x left
So
2x + 5x = 70
7x = 70
x = 10
So he spent (2/3)(3x)($2) = (2/3)(30)*$2 = (20)*$2 = $40
Check;
He started with $5(10) + $2(30) = $110 ....... and he spent $40 = $70 left
