sonya spent three eighth of her money and then had $15 left. how much money
did she originally have
x - 3/8x = 15
5/8x = 15
x = 15 / (5/8)
x = 15 * (8/5)
x = 120/5 = 24
THXX FOR HELPING MY BRO
$30
To prove or double check if the answer is right
5/8×$24.00=$15.00
I don't understand PLZZ explain more!!!!!
Here is my solution:
MAKE IT EASIER PLZZZ. MAKE IT EASIER TO UNDERSTAND!!!!!
To find out how much money Sonya originally had, we can follow these steps:
1. Let's assume Sonya originally had "x" amount of money.
2. Sonya spent three-eighths of her money, which is (3/8)x.
3. After spending that amount, she had $15 left. So, her remaining money can be expressed as x - (3/8)x = $15.
4. Now, we can solve this equation to find the original amount of money she had:
x - (3/8)x = $15
To solve this equation, we need to first combine like terms:
(8/8)x - (3/8)x = $15
Simplifying further:
(5/8)x = $15
To isolate x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of (5/8), which is (8/5):
x = $15 * (8/5)
Evaluating the expression on the right side:
x = $24
Therefore, Sonya originally had $24.
