Answer:
$90.00
Step-by-step explanation:
Larrie and Lester went shopping. They both went with equal amount of money.
Let initial amount = x
Larrie = Lester = x
Larrie spent $120.00 and Lester spent $150.00.
Amount left (Larrie) = x - $120.00
Amount left (Lester) = x - $150.00
At the end of the shopping Lester had 2/3 of what Larrie had left.
Amount left (Lester) = 2 / 3 (Amount left (Larrie)
x - 150 = 2/3 (x - 120)
solving for x;
3 (x - 150) = 2 (x - 120)
3x - 450 = 2x - 240
3x - 2x = -240 + 450
x = 210
How much money did Latrine have after shopping?
Amount left (Larrie) = x - $120.00
Amount left (Larrie) = $210.00 - $120.00
Amount left (Larrie) = $90.00
