Answer:
$ 850
Step-by-step explanation:
NANCY SPENT $255 ON A DRESS. SHE THEN SPENT 1/7 OF HER REMAINING MONEY ON A BLOUSE. IF SHE STILL HAD 3/5 OF HER MONEY LEFT.
Let say Nancy Had = $ N
Spent on Dress = $ 255
Remaining Money = $ (N-255)
Spent 1/7 of remaining Money
= (1/7)(N - 255) $
Left money = $ (N-255) - (1/7)(N - 255) = (6/7)(N - 255) $
Left Money = 3N/5 $
Equating both
3N/5 = (6/7)(N - 255) $
=> 7N = 10N - 2550
=> 3N = 2550
=> N = 850
SHE HAVE AT FIRST = $ 850
