A woman had $200. She went to a meatshop,
a bookstore and a drugstore. She spent four
times as much money at the meatshop as she
did at the drugstore. She spent $15 less at the
bookstore than at the drugstore. She then had
$5 left.
(a) Using $x to represent the amount she spent
at the drugstore, express in algebraic terms
(i) the amount she spent at the meatshop
(ii) the amount she spent at the bookshop
(b) Obtain an equation for the total amount
of money spent and hence calculate the
amount she spent at the drugstore.
