cost of racket ... (1 - 1/3) * 3/4 = 1/2 of total money (m)
m - m/3 - m/2 - 5 = m/8
solve for m , then substitute back to find the cost of the racket
m - m/3 - m/2 - 5 = m/8
solve for m , then substitute back to find the cost of the racket

Ok
(1 - 1/3) * 3/4 = 1/2
m - m/3 - m/2 - 5 = m/8
m = 120
1/2 * 120 = 60
(1 - 1/3) * 3/4 = 1/2
m - m/3 - m/2 - 5 = m/8
m = 120
1/2 * 120 = 60
