Answer 1

Answer:

351

Step-by-step explanation:

let 's assume she started with Rs x

x - spended money = 180

x - (x/4 + 35.75 + 47.5) = 180

3x/4 = 263.25 => x = Rs 351

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the total money be x

x/4+35.75+47.5+180=x

x/4+263.25=x

x/4-x=-263.25

(x-4x)/4=263.25

-3x=-263.25

x=263.25/-3

x=87.75
