Answer 1

Answer:

she had $60 before she went for shopping

Step-by-step explanation:

PLZ MARK BRAINLIEST

Let x represent the amount of money that Victoria had before she went for shopping.

Victoria spent one-fourth or her birthday money on clothes. It means that the amount she spent on shopping is 1/4 × x = x/4. Amount that she was having left would be x - x/4 = 3x/4

She received another 25$ a week later. The amount that she is having at this point will be 3x/4 + 25

If she has a total of 70$ now, it means that

3x/4 + 25 = 70

Multiplying through by 4

3x + 100 = 280

3x ,= 280 - 100 = 180

x = 180/3 = 60
