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

| 4x2 |
3x2 |
| 7 u |
1 u |
6 u |
The amount that Fabian had left is the same. Make the numerators the same. LCM of 3 and 6 is 6.
3x27x2 of his money =
67 of his remaining money
614 of his money =
67 of his remaining money
Amount that Fabian spent on the windbreaker = 7 u
7 u = 133
1 u = 133 ÷ 7 = 19
Amount that Fabian had at first
= 14 u
= 14 x 19
= $266
Answer(s): $266
