Question

Susan went shopping with a sum of money. She spent 0.5 of her money plus $5 on a handbag. She then spent 0.5 of the remaining money plus $3 on a pair of sunglasses. Finally she spent 0.5 of what was left plus $2 on an umbrella. She was then left with $1.50. How much money did she have at first?

Answer 1

$13. You basically have to add every amount and voila we have an answer!

Hope I helped!

Answer 2

(1.50 + .50 + .50 + .50 = 3.00) + (5.00 + 3.00 + 2.00= 10.00) that is:

$13.00. is the final answer.
