Try to think it out with me. It will help you with word problems in general. First, if her money were divided up into 16 parts and she spent 15 of them, while 1 part was left, you can realize that the ratio is: 1 part left to 15 parts spent. Then you can quickly figure she has $500 left.
When you look at the available answers, it must be the last one- $8000, since it is the sum of money left and money spent. A quick check to see if your answer is reasonable will tell you that only an amount larger than $7500 can be the answer. I hope this helps you with word problems.
Always ask yourself: What are they telling me? What do they want? and Which of the answers are reasonable? It will help you speed up your math for the SATs and other tests.
