+2353 Mia spent one third of her money on lunch. At lunch, her friend gave her $2.50 to repay a loan. Then Mia spent $3.25 for a movie ticket and $.75 for a snack. She had $4.90 left. How much did Mia have before lunch
Okay so she currently has $4.90
Before the snack she had $4.90+$0.75 = $5.65
Before the movie ticket she had $5.65+$3.25 = $8.90
Before her friend repaid her loan she had $8.90 - $2.50 = $6.40
Since she spent one third on lunch, this amount is two third of the original amount.
Since this is two third and we therefore we need to add one thrid to get the original amount we have.
Amount before lunch = $6.40 + $6.40/2 = $6.40 + $3.20 = $9.60
