Josie spent 4/7 of ten money in her purse on some books, and the rest of the money on 18 markers. each marker cost $1.20. how much money was in josie's purse to begin with

Let's assume money in Josie's purse to begin with as 'x'

There are 18 markers

Each marker cost $1.20

so, we can find total cost of markers

Total cost of markers = ( total number of markers)*(price of each marker)

so, we can plug value

Total cost of markers is

$

now, we are given

Josie spent 4/7 of the money in her purse on some books

the rest of the money on 18 markers

so, rest money is

and this rest money is total cost of markers

so, we can set them equal and then we can solve for x

So, total money in Josie's purse in beginning is $50.4..........Answer
