Answer 1

Answer: Deirde had $ 107.2 at first

so if you add the 40% and the 35% together you would have 25% unused since its 25% you can just times it by four and you will get the total of $ 107.2

Answer 2

107.20 euros.

Explanation:

Let the amount she had initially be x euros.

Then we have the equation:

x - 0.40x - 0.35x = 26.80

x - 0.75x = 26.80

0.25x = 25.80

Multiply both sides by 4:-

x = 107.20 euros.
