Mr. Harris went to the stores to buy school supplies for his children. He spent half of his money plus $5 at Gymboree. He then spent half of the remaining money plus $10 at Target. At the end he had $25 left. How much money did Mr. Wood start with?

I dont know that is why i asked you
Gymboree: x/2 + 5, leaving x/2 - 5
Target: (x/2 - 5)/2 + 10, leaving (x-50)/4
(x-50)/4 = 25
x=150
check: 150-80-45 = 25
Target: (x/2 - 5)/2 + 10, leaving (x-50)/4
(x-50)/4 = 25
x=150
check: 150-80-45 = 25
