Determine how much money did the carpenter start with

The total money with the carpenter is $318.4

Given:

let

x = <em>total money with the carpenter</em>

<em>Bags of sand</em> = 7/8 of x

= 7/8x

<em>Money remaining</em> = x - 7/8x

= (8x-7x) / 8

= 1/8x

<em>Bags of bunting bags</em> = 1/2 of 1/8x

= 1/2 × 1/8x

= 1/16x

<em>Money left </em>= $19.90

<em>Total money = bags of sand + bag of bunting flag + money left</em>

x = 7/8x + 1/16x + 19.90

x = (14x + x) / 16 + 19.90

x = 15/16x + 19.90

x - 15/16x = 19.90

16x - 15x / 16 = 19.90

x/16 = 19.90

divide both sides by 1/16

x = 19.90 ÷ 1/16

= 19.90 × 16/1

= 318.4

Therefore, the total money with the carpenter is $318.4
