cryingJoseph Currently has a certain amount of money. If he spends $20 he has one sixth of the original amount left. How much money did Joseph have originally?

A - 20  = (1/6)A         where A is the original amount

 

A - (1/6)A  = 20

 

(5/6)A  = 20      multiply both sides by 6/5

 

A   =  (6/5)20  =    $24

 

 

cool cool cool
