Answer 1

Answer: $36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total amount of money that he had in the beginning be represented by x.

Since Gary spent 1/6 of his money on baseball cards which was $6. This will then be solved further as:

1/6 × x = 6

1/6x = 6

x = 6 × 6

x = 36

The total amount of money that he had in the beginning was $36
