Germaine spent $20 less than 1/3 of her money on vegetables. She spent $14 more than 1/2 of her remaining amount of money on meat. If she had $76 left, how much money did she have at first?

Answer 1

From the given information, Germaine spent $76 on vegetables and meat. This amount is $14 more than 1/2 * remaining amount of money on meat.
Therefore 1/2 * remaining amount of money = $76 - $14 = $<<76-14=62>>62
$1 * remaining amount of money = $62 * 2 = $<<62*2=124>>124
Germaine had $124 left after buying vegetables, meat, and other things.
1/3 * her money = $124 - $20 = $<<124-20=104>>104
Germaine had $104 * 3 = $<<104*3=312>>312 at first. Answer: \boxed{312}.
