Question 1040861
Let n be the amount Andy had before he bought the horse grain. His last expense was 150. 150 represents 1/5 of what he had left. So, working backward:
n/5=150
n=750.
Before that, he spent 1/4 of what he had left on a saddle, so 750 represents 3/4 of what he had, so
3n/4=750
n=750*4/3=1000
Add 2741 for the horse and the jacket, and we're up to 3741--
3n/4=3741
n=4988
Add 17 for the shirt, and we have $5005 as the total amount of money Andy spent!!!!!!
