Question

laura spent 2/5 of her money now she has $18 left how much money did she have origanily

Answer 1

Answer:

Money Laura had originally = $30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the money Laura had =  x

Money spent = 2/5 of x = $\frac{2}{5}x$

Remaining money  = $ 18

$x - \frac{2}{5}x = 18\\\\\frac{x*5}{1*5}-\frac{2}{5}x = 18\\\\\frac{5x}{5} - \frac{2x}{5} = 18\\\\\frac{3x}{5}=18\\\\ 3x = 18*5\\\\3x = 90\\\\x = \frac{90}{3}\\\\x = 30$

Money Laura had originally = $30
