Bob has $500 in his account.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Amount in How's account = $70 more than $\frac{1}{5}$ of Bob's amount

Amount in How's account = $170

Let,

x represent the amount Bob has.

According to given statement;

70 + $\frac{1}{5}$ of Bob's money = Amount in How's account

$70+\frac{1}{5}x=170\\\\\frac{350+x}{5}=170$

Multiplying both sides by 5

$5*\frac{350+x}{5}=170*5\\\\350+x=850\\x=850-350\\x=500$

Bob has $500 in his account.
