Question of the Day

Maya withdrew some money from her bank account. She spent 35onashirt.Thenshegavehalfoftheremainingmoneytoherbrother.Ifshehas35 on a shirt. Then she gave half of the remaining money to her brother. If she has 35onashirt.Thenshegavehalfoftheremainingmoneytoherbrother.Ifshehas40 left, how much money did she withdraw from her account originally?

  1. $75
  2. $90
  3. $115 (correct answer)
  4. $150

Explanation: This problem is best solved by working backward. Maya has 40 left after giving half of her money to her brother. So, before giving him money, she had \(\40 \times 2 = $80). Before that, she spent 35 on a shirt. To find the amount she had before the purchase, add that amount back: \(\80 + $35 = $115). This was the amount she originally withdrew.
