Shiela spent $120 on a coat. She spent 2/3 of her remaining money on a dress. She's left with 1/5 of her money. How much he money did she have to begin with?

Answer 1

(x-120) * (1 - 2/3) = 1/5 x
x = 300

check:
300-120 = 180
2/3 of 180 = 120, leaving 60
50 is 1/5 of 300

Answer 2

Answer:
The answer is 280. 280-120=160 160/4=40 so 40 x 7 = 280
