Question 261833: Nghiep gave his mother half of his weekly earnings, and then spent half of what was left on a new shirt. He then had $32. What were his weekly earnings? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! He doesn't make enough to bother making an equation, I know.
4*32=128. He can't afford a shirt that costs $32 on his salary. No wonder his mother takes half. He doesn't know how to shop!
