To find out how much money the woman had to start with, we can set up an equation:
Let x be the total amount of money she had to start with.
She spent 1/3 of her money at the market, 1/4 at the chemist's, and 1/6 at the electrical shop. This means she had 1 - (1/3 + 1/4 + 1/6) = 1 - (6/12 + 3/12 + 2/12) = 1 - 11/12 = 1/12 of her money left.
This 1/12 of her money was equal to $555, so we can set up the equation:
(x/12) = $555
Multiplying both sides by 12 to solve for x, we get:
x = $555 * 12
x = $6660
Therefore, the woman had $6660 to start with.
