Brianna works at a sunglass shop. She earns $9 per hour and a $1 commission for each sale she makes. From July 1 to July 5, she saves all her money and doesn’t spend anything.
Each day, from July 1 to July 5, Brianna worked 4 hours.
• On July 1, Brianna made 4 sales.
• On July 2, Brianna made 3 sales, and worked 1 extra hour.
• On July 5, Brianna made 2 sales.
If Brianna had $225 at the end of July 5, how much money did she have on the morning of July 1?
7/1 -- 36 + 4 = 40
7/2 -- 45 + 1 = 46
7/5 -- 36 + 2 = 38
Add the totals together and subtract from 225.

To find out how much money Brianna had on the morning of July 1, we need to calculate her earnings for each day and then subtract the amount she saved on subsequent days.
Let's break it down day by day:
On July 1, Brianna made 4 sales. Each sale earns her a commission of $1, so she earned an additional $4 from sales. Since she worked 4 hours that day and earns $9 per hour, her earnings from working are 4 hours * $9/hour = $36. Therefore, her total earnings on July 1 were $4 + $36 = $40.
On July 2, Brianna made 3 sales and worked 1 extra hour. The commission for each sale remains the same at $1, so she earned an additional $3 from sales. She worked 5 hours that day (4 regular hours + 1 extra hour) and earns $9 per hour, so her earnings from working are 5 hours * $9/hour = $45. Therefore, her total earnings on July 2 were $3 + $45 = $48.
On July 5, Brianna made 2 sales. Again, the commission for each sale is $1, so she earned an additional $2 from sales. She worked 4 hours that day and earns $9 per hour, so her earnings from working are 4 hours * $9/hour = $36. Her total earnings on July 5 were $2 + $36 = $38.
Now we can calculate how much money Brianna had on the morning of July 1. If we subtract the savings from her total earnings on July 2 and July 5 from the total amount she had at the end of July 5, we can find the initial amount.
Initial amount = Total amount at the end of July 5 - (Total earnings on July 2 + Total earnings on July 5)
Initial amount = $225 - ($48 + $38)
Initial amount = $225 - $86
Initial amount = $139
Therefore, Brianna had $139 on the morning of July 1.
