I'm sorry but the solution you proposed was a bit hard to follow, so I'll just post my solution: we convert "2 and 1/2" to a single fraction:

So, we know that 5/2 gallons cost 60 dollars, which means

To find the cost of a single gallon, we have to solve the equation for g:

Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
11 + 8 + 14 + v + 8 + 14
================== = 11 Combine Terms
6
(55 + v) / 6 = 11 Multiply by 6
55 + v = 11 * 6 Combine the right
55 + v = 66 Subtract 55
55-55+v = 66- 55
v = 11
Given:X: The blue marbles.
3X: The red marbles.
A box contains
144 marbles.
SOLVING:X + 3X = 144
4X = 144
X =

X = 36
===> The blue marbles.If there are
3 times as many red marbles as there are blue marbles:
3(36) = 108
===> The red marbles. SOLUTION
TESTING:

GOOD LUCK...!!!
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
A spreadsheet is a useful tool for keeping track of the numbers. A picture of one is attached.
We have assumed that the dollar amount for housing computed in the first part remains the same (though the percentage changes). If that is not the case, you'll have to recompute.
Likewise, we assume that the "5%" retirement amount remains 5% of the nominal salary, rather than 5% of the salary after the mandatory retirement deduction. Similarly, we assume dance lessons remain at their original amount, and were not reduced when the company began taking mandatory retirement.
Feel free to build your own spreadsheet and recompute as needed for any assumptions I got wrong, or for any additional scenarios.
