Kate had a sum of money,she spent 1/8 of the money on a skirt and the remaining amount on a handbag
let the total money be x
so mathematically
x-1/8*x= 16
solve for x
x-x/8= 16
8x-x/8= 16
7x/8=16
cross multiply
7x= 8*16
7x=128
divide both sides by 7
x=128/7
x=$18.28

P + r = 2.50
r = p + 1
p + p + 1 = 2.50
2p + 1 = 2.50
2p = 2.50 - 1
2p = 1.50
p = 1.50/2
p = 0.75 <=== pencil cost 75 cents
r = p + 1
r = 0.75 + 1
r = 1.75 .....ruler cost 1.75
