Rudy worked hard all summer. Before school started, he decided to go
shopping and spend some of his earnings. He spent one third of his money
on a new shirt at Hot Fashions in the mall. He then went to Marvin's Music
and bought a CD with one third of the money he had left. At Movies-to-Go
he spent one third of the money he now had on a video he wanted. He
stopped one more time on his way home and bought a paperback at Bert's
Book Shop with one third of his remaining money. Rudy arrived home with
just $16.00. in his wallet.
How much money did he have when he started out?
