Omar has $117 left to spend.

Explanation:

The amount of money that Omar brought on vacation was x and 35% of x is $63. This can be written as an equation:

x * 35100 = 63

Multiply both sides by 10035.

x=63 * 10035

x = 630035

x=180

If the amount of money that Omar brought on vacation was $180 out of which he spent $63, the balance amount is 180-63 which is $ 117
