T= total
<span>Money spent is: </span>
48+ 1/3 (T-48) = 1/2 T
One equation for one unknown, solve:
48 + 1/3 T -1/3*48= 1/2 T
48 - 16 =1/2 T- 1/3 T
32= 1/6 T
T= 6*32
<span>T=192
</span>192-48=144 money left after watch
1/3*144=48 third of leftover, spent on pen
<span>144-48=96 left which is half of 192. </span>
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of line in the form .
y = mx + c
Where m is the slope and c is the y- intercept .
As given
The lines y=3x-1 and y=ax+2 are perpendicular .
Here 3 is slope for equation of line y=3x-1 and a is slope for equation of line
y=ax+2 .
Now by using properties of the perpendicular lines property .
When two lines are perpendicular than slope of one line is negative reciprocal of the other line .
Thus

Therefore 
First break= 1/2
second break = 1/2 of half= 1/4
third break = half of 1/4 = 1/8
forth break = 1/2 of 1/8 = 1/16
fifth break = 1/2 of 1/16 =1/32
fraction painted = 1 -1/32 =31/32
portion painted = 150*31/32 = 145.3125 ft^2
