Question 891806
He started with x money.


After buying the shirt, he has {{{3x/4}}}; and then gave $3 to charity, now having {{{3x/4-3}}}.


{{{(3x/4-3)/2}}} goes into the bank.
{{{(3x/4-3)-(1/2)(3x/4-3)=15}}}, what he has now after the shirt, the charity, the bank deposit.
Solve for x.


{{{(3x/4-3)(1-1/2)=15}}}
{{{(3x/4-3)/2=15}}}
{{{3x/4-3=30}}}
{{{3x-4*3=4*30}}}
{{{3x-12=120}}}
{{{3x=132}}}
{{{x=132/3}}}
{{{highlight(x=44)}}}, his initial amount.
