Question

Ashley has X dollar. she spends $23.5 On a new top. She decides to keep 2/5 of what she has left, which is $13.80. how many dollars did Ashley have originally ?​

Answer 1

Total= X

Top= $23.5

Left= x-23.5

Saves= 2/5 * (x-23.5) = $13.80

0.4 * (x-23.5) = 13.80

X - 23.5 = 13.80/0.4

X - 23.5 =34.5

X= 34.5 + 23.5

=$58.00
