mrs brown spent one-eighth of her money at the chemist. Then she spent two-thirds at foodtown. lastly she brought a lotto ticket for $5:00. Now she had $20 left. What amount did she start with
@gogt351,
If the 2/3 is of the original amount, then solve this (x is the original amount):
(1 - 1/8 - 2/3) * x = 25
