Calculate Total Spent: Calculate the total amount spent by Frank over 7 days.Calculation: $2 per day ×7 days = $14 spent.
Subtract from Initial Amount: Subtract the amount spent from the initial amount to find the remaining balance before sharing.Calculation: $65−$14=$51 remaining.
Calculate Amount to Share: Calculate the amount given to Frank to share with his brothers and determine Frank's share.Calculation: $9 total given, divided by 3 people (Frank and his 2 brothers) = $3 each.
Add Frank's Share: Add Frank's share to his remaining balance to find the total amount of money he had left.Calculation: $51+$3=$54 remaining.
