Question

Mary spent 3/4 of her money on a jacket. She spent 1/4 of the remainder on a shirt. The jacket cost $33 more than the shirt. How much did the jacket cost

Answer 1

$49.50 the jacket costs this because her total amount was $66. to find total money I said 3/4x - 1/4x = $33 so 1/2x =$33 and x= $66. then multiply the total by 3/4 to get $49.50
