Question

Karen spent all but $8 of her savings in three stores. In each store she spent $2 less than half of what she had when she went in. How much money did Karen have at the start?

Please HELP!

Answer 1

36 dollars

Explanation:

We need to think backwards to solve this question.

(8 - 2) x 2 = 12

(12 - 2) x 2 = 20

(20 - 2) x 2 = 36
