At first, Caden had some money. He spent ¹₆ of it on a dress and ²₃ of the remainder on a blouse. After that, his mother gave him $160. The ratio of the total amount of money he had in the end to the amount of money he had at first was 7 : 6. How much money did Caden have at first?
Fraction of the total on remainder
= 1 - ¹₆
= ⁵₆

Fraction of the remainder on what was left 
= 1 - ²₃
= ¹₃

Fraction of the total on what was left
= ⁵₆ x ¹₃
= ⁵₁₈

The total at first is the repeated identity.  Make the total at first the same. LCM of 6 and 18 = 18

Total in the end : Total at first
7_x3 : 6_x3
21 : 18

Amount that his mother gave him
= 21 u - 5 u
= 16 u

16 u = 160

1 u = 160 ÷ 16 = 10

Amount that Caden had at first
= 18 u
= 18 x 10
= $180

Answer(s): $180
