Tammy spent some of her money on a skirt, a pair of moccasins and some necklaces. She spent ¹₈ of her money and an additional $189 on a skirt. Next, she spent ⁴₇ of the remaining money and an additional $60 on a pair of moccasins. Finally, she spent ²₃ of what she had left on some necklaces and had $9 left. How much did Tammy have at first?
Fraction of the money that she had left
= 1 - ²₃ 
= ¹₃

¹₃ of the money she had left = 9
³₃ of the money she had left = 3 x 9 = 27

Fraction of the remaining money excluding the additional $60 spent on a pair of moccasins
= 1 - ⁴₇
= ³₇

³₇ of the remaining money = 27 + 60 = 87
¹₇ of the remaining money = 87 ÷ 3 = 29
⁷₇ of the remaining money = 7 x 29 = 203

Fraction of the total money excluding the additional $189 spent on the skirt
= 1 - ¹₈
= ⁷₈

⁷₈ of total money = 203 + 189 = 392
¹₈ of total money = 392 ÷ 7 = 56
⁸₈ of total money = 8 x 56 = 448

Amount that Tammy had at first = $448

Answer(s): $448
