Question

At the end of the week, YingEn checked her wallet and saw she had $36.42. She recalled that on Thursday Jennifer had given her $5 for a book, but that later that same day, Jeffrey had borrowed $3 for a soda. She also remembered that at the start of the week, she had given her best friend half of the money she had at that time. How much money did YingEn have at the beginning of the week?

Answer 1

i believe its $ 88.84 because if you add the money she go from the book so-
36.42+5 which equals 41.42 and then add the money jeffrey borrowed so-
41.42+3 which equals 44.42 and i said she gave half to her friend at the begging of the week so 44.42+44.42 which gives us 88.84


hope im right and helped have a good day
