This is a working backwards problem. You know he has $35 at the end. Before he gave his brother $5, he would have $40, which is half of what he had before he bought the clothes, so he would have had $80. Before he spent the $40 on shoes, he would have had $120, so the answer is $120.

Answer:
$2.72
Step-by-step explanation:
The increase from last week is the fraction ...
(new price)/(old price) -1 = (1.82/1.65) -1 = 17/165

<em>Comment on the working</em>
We could work this several ways. Perhaps most straightforward would be to determine how many gallons Sally bought last week, and multiply that by the change in price. Or, the number of gallons could be multiplied by the new price per gallon and the difference from the old purchase amount found.
If you look at the numbers, you see that we have effectively done it the first way. The change in price is $0.17 per gallon, and the number of gallons Sally bought is $26.40/$1.65.
