+176 Brian put some money in his pocket and went to the store. After paying $8 for a book, he had 2/3 of his money left. How much money did Brian have left?
+237 Let Brian's initial amount be x
x - 8 = 2/3x
3 (x - 8) = 2x
3x - 24 = 2x
3x - 2x = 24
x = 24
Amount left = 2/3x = 2/3 * 24
= 16
Brian has $16
