Erika spent 3/4 of her money on lunch. She has 2.00 left. How much money did she start with?
$8.00
1 - 3 / 4 = 4 / 4 - 3 / 4 = 1 / 4
2 / ( 1 / 4 ) = ( 2 / 1 ) / ( 1 / 4 = ( 2 * 4 ) / ( 1 * 1 ) = 8 / 1 = 8 $
ERIKA SPENT 2 3/4 HOURS HELPING GER MOTHER IN THER STORE. 3 1/3 HOURS CLEANING THE HOUSE AND WACHING THE CLOTHES.HOW MANY HOUYDID SHE WORK AT ALL?
To find out how much money Erika started with, we need to work backwards from the given information.
Let's assume that Erika started with a certain amount of money, which we'll call "x" dollars.
According to the problem, Erika spent 3/4 of her money on lunch. This can be written as:
3/4 * x = amount spent on lunch
Since she has $2.00 left, we can express this as:
x - amount spent on lunch = $2.00
Now we can solve for x.
First, let's find the amount Erika spent on lunch:
3/4 * x = amount spent on lunch
To solve for this amount, we can multiply 3/4 by x:
(3/4) * x = amount spent on lunch
To simplify, we can rewrite 3/4 as a decimal:
0.75 * x = amount spent on lunch
Now we can substitute this amount into the equation:
x - amount spent on lunch = $2.00
x - 0.75 * x = $2.00
To solve for x, we can combine like terms:
0.25 * x = $2.00
Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.25, we get:
x = $2.00 / 0.25
x = $8.00
Therefore, Erika started with $8.00.
