Question

Stefan spent 1/2 of his money on a ticket to the baseball game. He then spent $5 on a hot dog and a soda. He has $3 in his wallet now. How much did Stefan start with?

Answer 1

16 dollars!

Explanation:

Let's work backwards; 3 + 5 = 8,and remember he spent 1/2 of his money on the ticket. Well after you spend 1/2 of your money, you have 1/2 left; so 8 dollars left, means that 8 dollars were spent. In total, that's 16 dollars!

I'm not an expert, but I hope this helps. If you have any other doubts, feel free to ask!
