2u = $20
1u = $10
Hence she spent 3u = $30 at shop B

At first = 65 + 30 + 20 = 115

Hi

where is the question from ? It is likely the answer given was based on $56 spent on Shop A.

cheers.

School homework, maybe is just a typo mistake by t. I will stick to my anw of 115.

Hi I am a p6 student and may be able to help u, I also got a brother in P4
and a smart mum

My method:
2/5 of the remainder------$20
1/5 of the remainder------$10
5/5 of the remainder------$50
$50+$65= $106

If u need MD tell me

[BigDevil]

Michaelia0816:

$50+$65= $106

Shouldn't that be $115??

[Michaelia0816]

ok

[Michaelia0816]

OK here was my explaination:

She had a sum of money you does know its amount.She spent $65 in shop A.
then, it spent 3/5 of its remaining also means 3/5 of $?-$65. She left $20. which is obviously 2/5 of the remaining.just find the total amount of remaining and add 65 dollar will do to find the answer.
