I used 1/4 of my money and left $24. How much had i at first?
1-1/4 = 3/4 left.
3x/4 = 24,
X = $32.
Hi good job
To solve this problem, we can create an equation using the given information.
Let's say your initial amount of money is 'x'.
According to the problem, you used 1/4 of your money, which can be represented as (1/4)x.
After using 1/4 of your money, you have $24 left. So we can subtract this amount from the initial amount:
x - (1/4)x = $24
Now, let's simplify the equation:
(4/4)x - (1/4)x = $24
(3/4)x = $24
To solve for 'x', we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of '3/4', which is '4/3':
(4/3)(3/4)x = (4/3)($24)
x = $32
Therefore, you had $32 at first.
