Helen spent $35 on a windbreaker. She spent ²₉ of her remaining money on a dress and a jumpsuit, after which half her money was left.

1. What fraction of her money did she spend on the windbreaker?
2. The cost of the jumpsuit is ¹₆ the cost of the dress. How much more does the dress cost than the jumpsuit?

Windbreaker	Remaining amount
	Dress	Jumpsuit	Left
$35	2		7
1x7			1x7
5 u	2 u		7 u

(a)
The amount of money left is repeated. Make the numerators the same LCM of 1 and 7 is 7. 

1x72x7 of total money = 79 of remaining amount
714 of total money = 79 of remaining amount

Fraction of her money that she spent on the windbreaker
= ^Windbreaker_Total 
= ⁵₁₄ 

(b)
Cost of the windbreaker = 5 u

5 u = 35

1 u = 35 ÷ 5 = 7

Cost of the dress and the jumpsuit
= 2 u
= 2 x 7
= $14

Cost of the jumpsuit = 1 p
Cost of the dress = 6 p

Total cost of the jumpsuit and the dress 
= 1 p + 6 p
= 7 p

7 p = 14

1 p = 14 ÷ 7 = 2

Amount that the dress was more than the jumpsuit
= 6 p - 1 p
= 5 p
= 5 x 2
= $10

Answer(s): (a) ⁵₁₄; (b) $10
