Question

Cassie spends 2/3 of her money on supplies. Cassie spends her remaining money on 3 sandwiches. Each sandwich costs $5.25. How much money did Cassie have at first?

Answer 1

47.25 THE 3 THREE SANDWICHES = 17.75 WHICH IS ONE THIRD SO TIMES THAT BY 3 FOR THE FULL

Answer 2

In words:
Three sandwiches, each costing $5.25, equals 1/3 of Cassie's total money

We can write the formula:

(5.25*3)=1/3x

Now solve:

15.75=1/3x
3(15.75)=x
x=$47.25
Hope this helps!!
