To calculate how much money Ms. Stone has before she bought the groceries, let x be the number amount of money before she bought the groceries. Since Ms. Stone buys groceries for a total of 45.32 and she now has 32.25 left, this can be equated as x -45.32 =32.25.
Now, to solve for x, add both sides of the equation by 45.32.
x -45.32 =32.25
x -45.32+45.32 =32.25 + 45.32
x =32.25 + 45.32
x =77.57
Ms. Stone has $77.57 before she bought the groceries.
