Answer 1

let the earlier money be x

Answer 2

so now given that chaire spent 3/8 of her money so she spent 3/8x money

Answer 3

now given that the left money is P24.00

Answer 4

Alright, since we don't know the original price we'll let it be "x".

Now, let's translate the following statement.

Claire spent 3/8 of her money (x) and found she had left = 24.00

now let's re-write it and you'll get:

3/8(x) = 24

solve for x and you'll find how much she had ^_^

Answer 5

so x-(3/8)*x = 5x/8

Answer 6

sorry 3x/8 = P24.00

Answer 7

you're supposed to get x = 64 ^_^ give it a try

Answer 8

SO 3x = P24.00 * 8

Answer 9

x = (P24.00*8)/3 = 192.00/3

Answer 10

so x = P64.00

Answer 11

did you get it gel? :)
