Hilda spent some of her money on a windbreaker, a pair of moccasins and some bracelets. She spent ¹₃ of her money and an additional $124 on a windbreaker. Next, she spent ³₅ of the remaining money and an additional $68 on a pair of moccasins. Finally, she spent ⁵₆ of what she had left on some bracelets and had $14 left. How much did Hilda have at first?
Fraction of the money that she had left
= 1 - ⁵₆ 
= ¹₆

¹₆ of the money she had left = 14
⁶₆ of the money she had left = 6 x 14 = 84

Fraction of the remaining money excluding the additional $68 spent on a pair of moccasins
= 1 - ³₅
= ²₅

²₅ of the remaining money = 84 + 68 = 152
¹₅ of the remaining money = 152 ÷ 2 = 76
⁵₅ of the remaining money = 5 x 76 = 380

Fraction of the total money excluding the additional $124 spent on the windbreaker
= 1 - ¹₃
= ²₃

²₃ of total money = 380 + 124 = 504
¹₃ of total money = 504 ÷ 2 = 252
³₃ of total money = 3 x 252 = 756

Amount that Hilda had at first = $756

Answer(s): $756
