Answer

Find out the how much did Sheila have at first .

To proof

Let us assume that the original amount of money be x .

As given

Sheila went shopping and spent $120 on a coat.

Than

money sheila has =  x - 120

Than the equation becomes

L.C.M of (5,3) = 15

solving

600 +13x = 15x

600 = 15x - 13x

600 = 2x

x = $300

The shelia have money be $300 .

Hence proved
