You can put this solution on YOUR website! hunter spent 2/3 of his money on a video game before spending half of his remaining money on lunch.
lunch costs $10. how much money did he have to begin with?
:
Let a = amt to begin with
if he spent 2/3, the remaining has to be 1/3, of which half was spent on lunch, therefore * = of the total amt spent on lunch
therefore a = 10
multiply both sides by 6
a = $60
