OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

come on is it right i typed it myself :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Did you really want an answer, or was this a brain teaser?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does it equal 100 limes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, here's what I had written. Hint: Work backwards. 15 was half of what was left. So multiply 2 * 15. --> 30 Josh got 15. Add 15. --> 45 Lily got 30. Add 30. --> 75 Mom got 1/4. This means 75 is 3/4 of the total amount. ----------------------------- SO, yes I think you are right (:
