Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount Emily started with be 100x

Amount spent at grocery 1/2 of the money:

                                                                 $\frac{1}{2} \ of \ 100x = 50x$

Remaining amount  

                         $=100 x - 50x = 50x$

Amount spent at the Bakery 1/2 of what is left :

                                                                      $\frac{1}{2} \ of \ 50x = 25x$

Remaining amount

                      $= 50x - 25x = 25x$

Amount spent on CD , 1/2 of what is left :

                                                               $=\frac{1}{2} \ of \ 25x = \frac{1}{2} \times 25x = 12.5x$

Remaining amount

                     $= 25x - 12.5x = 12.5x$

But given the amount left is $6

That is  ,

                $12.5x = 6\\\\x = \frac{6}{12.5} = 0.48$

Therefore amount Emily had in beginning = 100 x  = 100( 0.48) = $48
