Let x be the initial amount of money. We know that mum spent 2/3 of this amount, so she's left with

x - \dfrac{2x}{3} = \dfrac{x}{3}

Of this remainder, only 1/4 was deposited, which is

\dfrac{x}{3}\times \dfrac{1}{4} = \dfrac{x}{12}

And this amount equals 20, so we have

\dfrac{x}{12} = 20 \iff x = 20\times 12 = 240

Aleksandr [31]

Answer: 48 inches tall

Step-by-step explanation: (I just learned this) First, you square 80 and 64. 80 will be 6400 and 64 will be 4096. Then you use the Pythagorean Theorem, which is a² + b² = c². A. and B. are the legs in a triangle and C. is the hypotenuse. If you have A. and C. but not B, you square A. and C. and subtract C. from A. Then, after you get the number, you square that number, which will be√(2304), which makes 48.
