My occasionally snarky thoughts on everything from motherhood, politics, life and current events. Cocktails are sometimes mandatory. Bottoms up!

Party time!

Well, it's Friday (thank heavens). Today's Brain Bender has a bit of a party feel to it...

Rachel went out shopping for her birthday party. She spent half of the original amount plus $5 on a very special cake, half of what was left plus $5 for paper plates and cups, then half of what was left plus $15 for soda. Then she had no money left.

How much did she start with?

---------------------------

And poor Rachel, having to throw her own party and going broke to boot! That's no fun....

Anyway, the answer will follow in the comments like always. Happy Friday!

Update: Today's smartypants sticker winner is jvh from Showcase of a Shattered Mind. Yay! And thanks for playing everybody...
