Billy had some money. He spent $260 on a coat and 3/7 of the remainder on a
\n" ); document.write( "backpack. He had 1/5 of his money left. How much money did Billy have at
\n" ); document.write( "first?
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "He had D dollars to start.
\n" ); document.write( "Then D - 260
\n" ); document.write( "Then 4/7 of D-260 after spending 3/7 = 4*(D-260)/7
\n" ); document.write( "And 4*(D-260)/7 = D/5
\n" ); document.write( "======================
\n" ); document.write( "4*(D60)/7 = D/5
\n" ); document.write( "20*(D-260)/7 = D
\n" ); document.write( "20*(D-260) = 7D
\n" ); document.write( "20D - 5200 = 7D
\n" ); document.write( "13D = 5200
\n" ); document.write( "D = $400
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "In this case, remainder and \"money left\" are the same. It can be written:
\n" ); document.write( "Billy had some money. He spent $260 on a coat and 3/7 of the money left on a
\n" ); document.write( "backpack.
\n" ); document.write( "He had 1/5 of his money left. How much money did Billy have at
\n" ); document.write( "first? \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
