Answer:

$200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the amount of Christmas money he had at the beginning.

He put 65% of X in the bank. This is 0.65x

He has $70 left which is equal to 0.35x

We need to write an equation to find the value of x.

70 = 0.35x

Divide by 0.35 to find the value of x.

70/0.35 = 0.35x/0.35

200 = x

He received $200 for Christmas.
