Taking x = the initial amount of money
=> x - (1/6)x - (2/5)x = 26
=> x - (5/30)x - (12/30) = 26
=> x - (17/30)x = 26
a) She spent a total of (17/30) of her money, so she had (13/30) of it left.
b)
=> x - (17/30)x = 26
=> x(1 - 17/30) = 26
=> (13/30)x = 26
=> x = 26*(30/13)
= 2*30
= $60
=> x - (1/6)x - (2/5)x = 26
=> x - (5/30)x - (12/30) = 26
=> x - (17/30)x = 26
a) She spent a total of (17/30) of her money, so she had (13/30) of it left.
