HEY GUYS I NEED HELP WITH THIS PLZZ! write down everything from the detail of how yall found ur answer plzz! 20 points or more... Math problem: Julie went shopping. She spent ⅙ of her money on books, ⅛ of her money on shoes and $5 on food. She had $13.50 left. Write an equation to represent this information. Solve the equation to find how much money she had at the beginning of the day?

1/6+1/8+$13.50+$5=x

x=$18.79

Step-by-step explanation:

i add them

first i find the common denominator for 1/6 and 1/8

then i add 13.50 by 5

then add 18.50 by 7/24

i hope this explains how i got my answer

Total amount of $ at beginning of day ⇒ ( About ) $ 26.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us say x represents ⇒ amount of $ at the beginning of the day;

If she spent 1 / 6 of this total money on books, we can say that the amount spent on books is 1/6x. Consecutively if 1/8 of this money was spent on shoes, the amount spent on shoes is 1/8x;

Knowing that $13.50 was remaining, let us set up the following equation;

x - ( 1/6x + 1/8x + 5 ) = 13.50 ⇒ now let us solve for x,

x - ( 1/6x + 1/8x + 5 ) = 13.50 ⇒ add similar elements, expanding,

x - ( 7/24x + 5 ) = 13.50 ⇒ distribute the minus sign

x - 7/24x - 5 = 13.50 ⇒ multiply either side by 24,

17x - 120 = 324 ⇒ add 120 to either side,

17x = 444,

Solution; Total amount of $ at the beginning of day ⇒ ( About ) $ 26.1

step-by-step explanation:

if you want to solve percent error follow these steps.

1. subtract the accepted value from the experimental value.

2. take the absolute value of step 1.

3. divide that answer by the accepted value.

4. multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

if you want to solve percent of change just do this.

1. work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

2. divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. if your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.

hope this : )
