Polly has a very rain number of dollar bills in her purse and no change.She spends half the money on a scarf and gives $1dollar
to a homeless person outside the store. She spends half the remaining dollars for lunch and tips the waiter $2. She then spends $3on a smoothie. She has $1 left. How many dollars did she have begin with?
Step-by-step explanation:you do the problem in reverse adding when it says spends and multiplying when it says half. she has $1 dollar left if you work in reverse you then add $3 and get $4. then add $2 and get $6 then multiply that by 2 getting $12. you then add $1 and get $13 then the last step is multiplying and you get $26. hope this helps
