Sonya spent 3/8 of her money and then had $15 left. How much money did Sonya originally have

John has $24.He uses 2/3 of his money to buy a pair of shoes. How much money is left ?

To find out how much money Sonya originally had, we can set up an equation. Let's call the original amount of money she had "x".

We know that Sonya spent 3/8 of her money, which means she has 1 - 3/8 = 5/8 of her money left.

We also know that she has $15.00 left, so we can set up the following equation:

5/8 * x = $15.00

To solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 8/5:

(5/8 * x) * (8/5) = $15.00 * (8/5)

This simplifies to:

x = $24.00

Therefore, Sonya originally had $24.00.
