Answer:

Her initial money she started with us $800.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial money Ann began with be x.

So she spent 1/3 of x on transport,

2/5 of x on food

1/6 of x on clothing

And the remaining is $80.00.

Let's find the value of x

X(1/3) +x(2/5) + x(1/6) +80 = x

X(1/3) +x(2/5) + x(1/6) -x = -80

Taken 30 as the lowest common multiple of the factors gives

(10x + 12x + 5x -30x)/30 = -80

(10x + 12x + 5x -30x)= -2400

-3x = -2400

X = -2400/-3

X= 800
