Wendy spent some of her money on a jumpsuit, a pair of slippers and some necklaces. She spent ¹₄ of her money and an additional $264 on a jumpsuit. Next, she spent ⁵₇ of the remaining money and an additional $60 on a pair of slippers. Finally, she spent ²₃ of what she had left on some necklaces and had $16 left. How much did Wendy have at first?
Fraction of the money that she had left
= 1 - ²₃ 
= ¹₃

¹₃ of the money she had left = 16
³₃ of the money she had left = 3 x 16 = 48

Fraction of the remaining money excluding the additional $60 spent on a pair of slippers
= 1 - ⁵₇
= ²₇

²₇ of the remaining money = 48 + 60 = 108
¹₇ of the remaining money = 108 ÷ 2 = 54
⁷₇ of the remaining money = 7 x 54 = 378

Fraction of the total money excluding the additional $264 spent on the jumpsuit
= 1 - ¹₄
= ³₄

³₄ of total money = 378 + 264 = 642
¹₄ of total money = 642 ÷ 3 = 214
⁴₄ of total money = 4 x 214 = 856

Amount that Wendy had at first = $856

Answer(s): $856
