Question

Jill had a certain amount of money. she spent 15$ downloading new songs. she has 2/5 of the original amount left. how much money did she have originally?

Answer 1

Let's call the original amount of money x.

We know that she has 2/5 of the original amount left, and that this is equal to $15.

Therefore, 2/5(x) = 15, and x = $37.50.
