Question:

How much money did she have at first?

The Process:

Let us design a diagram that matches the above situation.

\(\boxed{\cdot} \boxed{\cdot} \boxed{\cdot} \boxed{\cdot} \boxed{\cdot} \boxed{\cdot} \boxed{\cdot} \boxed{\cdot}\)

1 unit represents 1 part of all the money she had at first.

Abbie spent \(\frac{5}{8}\) of her money and saved the rest, that is \(\boxed{\cdot} \boxed{\cdot} \boxed{\cdot} \boxed{\cdot} \boxed{\cdot}\)  or 5 of 8 units.

From the diagram she spent above, 5 units exactly match the $ 45 she spent.
