Answer 2

Joshua had $25 on Monday.

Explanation:

We are given the following information:

Money spend on each day for lunch = $3

Number of days he attend school in a week = 5

Total money spent on lunch =
`3* 5 = \$15`

Money spent on Tuesday for ticket = $5

Money spent on Friday = $2

Money left on Friday = $3

Total money in the start of week =

`15 + 5 + 2 + 3 = 25`

Thus, Joshua had $25 on Monday.
