Brain Teaser- "I Will Spend $10"
A man goes into a store one day, and says to the cashier, "If you can match and give me what I have in my pocket, I will spend $10 in your store."
The cashier matched and gave the man the money, and the man spent $10. The man then went to another store, said the same thing, and did the same. He then went to a third store, said the same thing, and did the same. After leaving the third store, he had no money left. How much money did he start out with?
HINT: Work backwards and create equations to help you solve this problem!!!
