Jerry had some money. He used 1/3 of his money on a basketball and 3/4 of his

remaining money on a tennis racket. He spent another $5 on his lunch and had 1/8 of
the original amount of money left. How much money did Jerry have at first?

Your SUBJECT is math.
Just from the problem, it x is the all money
So, 7/8x = 1/3x + 2/3x * 3/4 + 5
7/8x = 1/3x + 1/2x + 5
21/24x = 8/24x + 12/23x + 5
1/24x = 5
x = 120
