She then spent one-fourth of the remainder, and only left with $15. How much money did Lucy have at the beginning? How much money did Lucy have left? ** The $15 is 1 - 1/4 = 3/4 of the money left. How much money did Lucy spend? ** Since 3/4 is equal to $15, then 1/4 is equal to $15/3 = $5. How much money did Lucy have left? ** So Lucy had $5 x 4 = $<<5*4=20>>20 left after losing 1/3 of her money. How much money did Lucy have at the beginning? ** Hence, $20 is 1 - 1/3 = 2/3 of the money that Lucy had at the beginning. How much money did Lucy lose? ** Since 2/3 is equal to $20, then 1/3 is equal to $20/2 = $10. How much money did Lucy have at the beginning? ** Therefore, Lucy had $10 x 3 = $<<10*3=30>>30 at the beginning. #### 30 Adam has 50 balls. 20 balls are red, 10 are blue, and the rest are either pink or orange.
