Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a = original amt in the savings account
"He spent $48 on a radio and 3/8 of what was left on presents for his friends."
Therefore he kept 5/8 of what was left
5/8(a - 48)
5/8(a - 30) left
:
John then put 2/3 of his remaining money into a checking account and donated the $100 that was left to charity.
a = 2/3(5/8a - 30) + 100
a = 5/12a - 20 + 100
a = 5/12a + 80
a - 5/12a = 80
7/12a = 80
a = $137.17 originally in his saving acct
