Joe has a total of $200 in his two pockets. He takes one fourth of the
money in his left pocket and puts it in his right pocket. He then takes
$20 from his left pocket and puts it in his right pocket. If he now has
an equal amount of money in each pocket, then how much money did he
originally have in his left pocket?
Choices.
A) $120	B) $130	C) $140	D) $150	E) $160
Joe had $100 in his left and $100 in his right pocket at the end. So, he had $120   in his left pocket (and $80 in his right pocket) before moving $20 from his left to his   right pocket. Thus, he had $160 in his left pocket originally (solve x − x/4 = 120).   correct answer $160
