111 of his remaining money on a blouse. If he still had
511 of his money left, how much did he have at first?

10 u |
The amount that Daniel had left is the same. Make the numerators the same. LCM of 5 and 10 is 10.
5x211x2 of his money =
1011 of his remaining money
1022 of his money =
1011 of his remaining money
Amount that Daniel spent on the sweater = 11 u
11 u = 198
1 u = 198 ÷ 11 = 18
Amount that Daniel had at first
= 22 u
= 22 x 18
= $396
Answer(s): $396
