<span>If the nemesis has "7/8 of her cats plus 2" it can be written like this: 7/8 x + 2 = x, where x is the number of the cats. After that we can solve the equation. x - 7/8 x = 2; 1/8 x = 2; x = 2 : 1/8 = 2 * 8 = 16. Answer: The nemesis has 16 cats.</span>
He has $.50 left
1/2 on baseball cards = $2.00
1/4 on a drink = $1.00
1/8 on bible gum = $.50
Which adds up to $3.50 so therefore he has 50 cents left
4.00 - 3.50 = .50
