I answered this above.
To find out how much money Ann had to begin with, we need to add up the portions of money she spent on each item.
Let's assume Ann had x amount of money.
According to the given information:
- She spent half of her money on a dress, which is (1/2)x.
- She spent a third of her money on a t-shirt, which is (1/3)x.
- She spent a tenth of her money on a CD, which is (1/10)x.
Adding these amounts together, we can write the equation:
(1/2)x + (1/3)x + (1/10)x = x
To solve for x, we need to find a common denominator on the left side of the equation:
(5/10)x + (3/10)x + (1/10)x = x
Combining like terms, we have:
(9/10)x = x
To isolate x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 10:
10 * (9/10)x = 10 * x
9x = 10x
Now, we subtract 9x from both sides:
9x - 9x = 10x - 9x
0 = x
Therefore, Ann had 0 amount of money to begin with. This means that either there was an error in the given information or there is something missing in the question.
