Answer:

$678.98

Explanation:

Let the amount she had before she started spending be T. If she went shopping and spent $493.98 then the amount she would have is

= T - 493.98

Given that she has $185 left then

T - 493.98 = 185

Add 493.98 to both sides

T - 493.98 + 493.98 = 185 + 493.98

T = $678.98

She must have had $678.98 in her bank account to begin?
