Question

I spent half of my savings on cloths and half of what was left on shoes. if I had#100.00 balance, what had I at first?​

Answer 1

Answer: 400.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Half is divided by 2

So to find the value before it was cut into half, we need to multiply by 2

100 x 2 = 200

We then have to multiply by two again as it was cut into half two times

200 x 2 = 400

∴ Your starting balance was 400.00

Answer 2

Answer:

100$

Step-by-step explanation:

At first i had ONE WHOLE. = 1/1

I spent 1/2 of my savings on clothes and remained with another 1/2

 SO: 1/2 = clothes

        1/2 = remainder.

   I used 1/2 of what was left on shoes.

               ∴ 1/2 of 1/2(remainder) = 1/4

SO: 1/4 = shoes

shoes + clothes = 3/4.   Rem = 1/4

           1/4 = 100$

          4/4

4/4 *100

    1/4                       ANSWER=400$
