Let m be the amount of money he had

m - (1/3)m - 5 = (1/2)m
(2/3)m - 5 = (1/2)m
Subtract both sides by (1/2)m
(2/3 - 1/2)m - 5 = 0
(1/6)m - 5 = 0
Add both sides by 5
(1/6)m = 5
Multiply both sides by 6
m = 30

Peter started with 30 dollars.

Have an awesome day! :)

Find the volume of each size stack by multiplying Length x width x height.

Once you have the volume for the 3 different stacks of books, add the together.

Bottom: 12 x 1 x 6 = 72 cubic inches per book x 2 = 144 cubic inches total.

Middle: 10 x 1 x 5 = 50 cubic inches per book x 2 = 100 cubic inches total.

Top: 7 x 0.5 x 4 = 14 cubic inches per book x 2 = 28 cubic inches total.

Total volume = 144 + 100 + 28 = 272 cubic inches.
