Question

Jessica used 2/3 of her money to buy books and 1/6 of her money to buy notebooks. She then had $30 left. How much money did Jessica have before shopping?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The total amount of money she spent on books and notebooks is:

2/3x + 1/6x = 5/6*x

Jessica had $30 left, so we can set up an equation:

x - 5/6*x = 30

Simplifying the equation:

1/6*x = 30

x = 180
