Donna bought a notebook for $3.50 and then spent half of her money for a textbook. Next she bought sheet music for $4.00 and then spent half of the remaining money on a calculator. She had $8.00 left. How much money did she start with?

$43.50

Step-by-step explanation:

(Work out backward to find the answer)

Remaining money => $8

=> 8 x 2 = 16

=> 16 + 4 = 20

=> 20 x 2 = 40

=> 40 + 3.50 = 43.50

= $ 43.50

Hence, she had $ 43.50 at the beginning.
