this left her with a balance of Tsh,35000.find how much she have at the beginning
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


I will solve part (2), only.


She spent 1%2F3 + 1%2F4 = %283+%2B+4%29%2F%283%2A4%29 = 7%2F12 of her money; hence, she left with 5/12 of her money.


So 5/12 of her original money is Tsh 35000.


Hence, her money at the beginning was  %2812%2F5%29%2A35000 = 12*7000 = 84000.    ANSWER

Solved.
