In September, Shalee had some money in her bank account. In October she earned $48.24 and put it in her account. In November she spent three-fourths of the money in her bank account on a dress. If she spent $68.28 on the dress, how much money did she have in her account in September?

x = $42.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Amount of money shalee has in Sept = $x

Shalee October earnings = $48.24

Total money = $x + $48.24

She spent 3/4 of the money on dress

3/4 of (x + 48.24) = $68.28

3/4 * x + 48.24 = 68.28

3/4x + 144.72/4 = 68.28

3/4x + 36.18 = 68.28

3/4x = 68.28 - 36.18

3/4x = 32.10

x = 32.10 ÷ 3/4

= 32.10 × 4/3

= 128.4/3

= 42.8

x = $42.8

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.
