Todd earned some money doing chores. He spent one-fourth of his money see a movie. Then he spent $6.00 on popcorn and drinks. When he went home, he had $24.00 left. How much did Todd earn mowing the neighbor's lawn?

Todd earned $40 mowing the neighbor's lawn.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount of money that Todd earned, mowing his neighbor's lawn.

He spent one-fourth of his money see a movie. It means that the amount spent in seeing a movie is x/4

Then he spent $6.00 on popcorn and drinks. It means that the total amount spent is

x/4 + 6

The amount left would be

x - (x/4 + 6) = x - x/4 - 6

When he went home, he had $24.00 left. It means that

x - x/4 - 6 = 24

x - x/4 = 24 + 6

x - x/4 = 30

Cross multiplying by 4, it becomes

4x - x = 120

3x = 120

x = 120/3

x = $40
