Well, you should probably check with somebody else but i had got 26.5 or 26 1/2. I'm not sure if that is correct due to it saying to use quadratic equations. Sorry

Making a list helps organize the information in a word problem that can otherwise be overwhelming and confusing. Making lists put out a straightforward guide and help you break down the problem so you really understand what you need to do.
Word problem:
Maya has $55 and she gives her brother $10. She also gives her friend $15 and her sister $5. Her sister pays her back fully but her brother only pays back half of what he owed, promising to pay her back later. Her friend gives back 1/3 of what she owed, also promising to pay her back as soon as she can. How much money does Maya currently have?
In this problem, you have to process the money transactions and making a list will help you go step by step.
If there are 12 items adding up to 60%, we want to know how many items more it will take to equal 100% So set up this equation 12/x = .6 then solve for x. x=12/.6 x = 20 now that we know the total you can subtract 12 from 20 and get 8, that is the number of items left on the list.
