Mitzi withdrew 1/3 of her savings to go shopping. After spending 3/5 of the money on clothing and another 1/3 on books, she had $20 left. How much savings did he have before the withdrawal?

let s find how much she spend:

 

3/5+1/3=14/15 

 

how much she left:

 

1-14/15=1/15

 

so 1/15 is 20$

 

20x15=300 (it is the money which she withdrew)

 

300x3=900

 

Answer:900
