Answer 3

Working backwards ...

Maria has $18 left over.
Going one step back, she must have spent $18 on DVD because Maria spent HALF the remaining money on DVD. So before she bought the DVD she must have had $36.
She spent $25 on jeans. Before buying the jeans she must have had $36 + $25 = $61.

Can you finish the rest?

Answer 9

This $61 represent one-third of the money her grandmother gave her because Maria put two-thirds into a savings account which would leave one-third for her to spend.

If one-third is $61, what is the full amount?

In other words, one-third of what is $61?

Yes.

Just to make sure assume her grandmother gave her $183 and work forward to see if she would have $18 left over at the end.
