If Veronica gave $35 to Bill, she spent $
87.50
to buy books and she has $
left.

Answer 1

Answer:

70

Step-by-step explanation:

let the amount of money she had be x.

acc to question,

$\frac{20}{100}$ × x = 35

on solving, x = 175

she gave 35 to bill, that maens she is left with 175- 35 ie 140.

she spends 50 % of it on books, ie she spends half ie she spends 70.

therefore she is left with 70 dollars.
