The amount that Dylan 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 Dylan spent on the shirt = 11 u
11 u = 88
1 u = 88 ÷ 11 = 8
Amount that Dylan had at first
= 22 u
= 22 x 8
= $176
Answer(s): $176
