Problem of the Day

 

Invest That Money!

A businesswoman went to the bank and sent half of her money to a stockbroker.  Other than a $2 parking fee before she entered the bank and a $1 mail fee after she left the bank, this was all the money she spent.  On the second day she returned to the bank and sent half of her remaining money to the stockbroker.  Once again, the only other expenses were the $2 parking fee and the $1 mail fee.  If she had $182 left, how much money did she have before the trip to the bank on the first day?  Note:  She pays the parking before she goes into the bank, and the mail fee is after the ½ of money is sent to the stockbroker.
