Given:

Bobby put 1/3 of his lawn mowing money into his savings

He uses the remaining 2/5 to buy a video game.

He has $12 left.

To find:

The amount did he have at first.

Solution:

Let x be the initial amount.

Bobby put 1/3 of his lawn mowing money into his savings. So, the remaining amount is

x-\dfrac{1}{3}x=\dfrac{2}{3}x

He uses the remaining 2/5 to buy a video game. Then the remaining amount is

Remaining=\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{2}{3}x\times \dfrac{2}{5}

Remaining=\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{4}{15}x

Remaining=\dfrac{10x-4x}{15}

Remaining=\dfrac{6x}{15}

Remaining=\dfrac{2x}{5}

It is given that the remaining amount is $12.

12=\dfrac{2x}{5}

12\times 5=2x

60=2x

Divide both sides by 2.

\dfrac{60}{2}=x

30=x

Therefore, Bobby have $30 at first.
