~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Television cost = x/2 + 324 = $1086
M==Mike's money
M/2 + 324 ==paid for TV
M/12 + 1 ==paid for DVD player
(M - 672) / 6 ==paid for Music player
M - [ (M/2+324) + (M/12 +1) + (M-672) / 6] ==168
Solve for M:
(5 M - 2 M - 2556)/12 = 168
(3 M - 2556)/12 = 168
(3 M )==2016 + 2556 ==4572
M =4572 / 3 ==1,524
1,524 / 2 + 324 ==1,086 - what he paid for TV
