You initialy had 60, then you go to the first shop and spend half of it plus which is 30+10=40, so have spent 40 so far. Then you go to the second shop and spend half of the money that you have got left plus 10, which 10+10=20. Now you have spent the whole, and nothing has been left. It can be solved via a simple equation. (1/2X+10)-(1/2(1/2X-10))=0
1/2x+10-1/4x+5=0
1/4x+15=0
1/4x=-15 x=-60 It is minus because you do not have it anymore 60-(30+10)-(10+10)=0 My advice to you is that do not spend your money like that, because: Imagine you have 20, and you have now spent it. So you do not have it anymore (-20), and you have already spent 20(-20-20=-40). Now you will have to balance your budget, so you need 20 (-40-20=-60). In order to get 20, you will eventually need to pay 20 (-60-20=-80) for tax, bills, and etc. So every penny that you spend is equal to 4 pence debt. Think about it.

You spent $98.76. easy easy --really!!! If you work it out properly you will realise that the answer is $ 98.82 as what you have left is 1/4 of you original sum ie. $ 32.94 as you spent half leaving you a half then half of that , therefore you have spent 3/4 of your money which is 3x 32.94 = $ 98.82 --basic mathematics Kenny from Scotland

400 million dollars was sent to Greece and Turkey. More than half was spent on Military aid.
You say "...and gave half of the half he spent...." You cannot "give" what you have already spent. He is right. If you ignore that fact, though, then I think this might be what you're looking for: 400-200-100 x 2 = 200 Obviously, though, you can't ignore that fact.
