Question

During one day at an office, one-half of the amount of money in the petty drawer was used in the morning, and one-third of the ramining money was used in the afternoon, leaving $6 in the petty cash drawer at the end of the day. How much was in the petty cash drawer at the start of the day?

Answer 1

Answer:
$2 is two-thirds of the money in the box.
So after the morning $3 was in the box.
That was half of what was there to start, $6.
