At the Tropicana, he doubled his money and then lost $30; he took his remaining money and went to Ceasar's Palace. There he tripled the money with which he entered and lost $54. At that point, he took his remaining money and went to Aladdins. There he quadrupled the money with which he entered but then spent $72. He spent no more money, and when he returned to his room he had $48 left. How much money did he have before he went to the casinos? </SPAN>\n" );
