Answer:she had $63.75 at first.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the amount of money that she had at first.
kathy spent 3 fifths of her money on a necklace. This means that the amount of money that she spent on the necklace is
3/5 × x = 3x/5
The amount of money remaining would be
x - 3x/5 = 2x/5
She used 2 thirds of the remainder on a bracelet. This means that the amount of money that she spent on the bracelet is 2/3 × 2x/5 = 4x/15
If the bracelet costs $17.00, then
4x/15 = 17
4x = 15 × 17
4x = 255
x = 225/4
x = 63.75
