Car found a bag of money she gave 1/2 to charity 1/4 to her brother and 1/8 to a friend she now has $25 left how much money was originally in the bag

Answer 1

Car started with 1 whole bag. She gave away 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8. So how much does she have now? 1 - 1/2 - 1/4 - 1/8 = 1/8. Car has 1/8 of the original amount left. If 1/8 of the original amount is only $25, we can figure it the original amount by dividing $25 / (1/8), or in other words, multiplying $25 * 8 = $200.
