Lisa had $32.4 in her savings before going to the bakery

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that the amount of money Lisa had: x

Amount of money Lisa spent: $14.20

Amount of money Lisa brings home: more than $2.00 or >$2

<em>To find the amount of money Lisa had before, add the amount that Lisa spent and the amount she had left approximately and multiply it by two since she only brought half of her savings</em>

Total amount Lisa had > 2 (Amount of money Lisa spent + Amount of money Lisa brings home)

x > 2 (14.2 + 2)

x > 16.2 x 2

x > 32.4

The total amount that Lisa had in her savings before going to the bakery is more than $32.4.
