20%2Adollars%2A4%28coss%2Fdollar%29=80%2Acoss

2%2Apillets%2A%284%2F0.5%29%28coss%2Fpillets%29=16%2Acoss


REPHRASE:

Lindsay has 80 coss to spend. She first needs to buy exactly 16 coss. She
then spends the remaining amount . What is the total amount she purchases in coss? What was her remaining amount in coss before that was spent?
