Mrs. Winthrop went to a store, spent half of her money and then $ 10 more. She went to a
second store, spent half of her remaining money
and $ 10 more. But she then had no money left.
How much money did she have to begin with
when she went to the first store?

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so I go to the store

I spend X/2 - 10 and I'm left with x/2

Then I got to store 2 and spend x/2 - 10 again and now have no money left.

So

x/2-10=0

x/2=10

x=20

Before that, she had:

x/2-10=20

x/2=30

x=60

So she started out with $60
