Question

Sharon can buy three dresses with one fourth of her money she can buy 6 dresses and 2 skirts with her remaining money if she wants to buy only skirts how many skirts can she buy with all her money

Answer 1

1/4 that of the money was for 3dresses
means she can buy 12 dresses with her total money
but she bought only 9 dresses and two skirts
those two skirts are bought from the 1/4 that of the money
so she can buy 8 skirts with her total money
