Eva spent some of her money on a skirt, a pair of sport shoes and some bracelets. She spent ¹₃ of her money and an additional $244 on a skirt. Next, she spent ²₅ of the remaining money and an additional $39 on a pair of sport shoes. Finally, she spent ²₃ of what she had left on some bracelets and had $3 left. How much did Eva have at first?
Fraction of the money that she had left
= 1 - ²₃ 
= ¹₃

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

Fraction of the remaining money excluding the additional $39 spent on a pair of sport shoes
= 1 - ²₅
= ³₅

³₅ of the remaining money = 9 + 39 = 48
¹₅ of the remaining money = 48 ÷ 3 = 16
⁵₅ of the remaining money = 5 x 16 = 80

Fraction of the total money excluding the additional $244 spent on the skirt
= 1 - ¹₃
= ²₃

²₃ of total money = 80 + 244 = 324
¹₃ of total money = 324 ÷ 2 = 162
³₃ of total money = 3 x 162 = 486

Amount that Eva had at first = $486

Answer(s): $486
