Final answer:

Robert returned home with $60.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much money Robert returned with, we need to first find out how much money he spent on lunch and the snack and juice combined.

Since Robert spent 3/5 of his money on lunch, he has 2/5 of his money left.

He then spent 1/6 of the money he had left on the snack and juice, leaving him with 5/6 of the money he had after lunch.

Given that Robert returned home with $24, we can set up an equation:

5/6 * (2/5 * Money) = $24

Solving this equation, we find that Robert had $60 in total.

Therefore, Robert returned home with $60.

For this case we have that the initial amount of money is:


M_ {1}=24

If you spend
\frac {3} {5} of your money we have that left:


M_ {2}=\frac {3} {5} * 24 = \frac {72} {5} = 14.4

So, after lunch he has $ 14.4 left.

Then Robert spent
(1)/(6)on snack and juice, so we have:


M_ {3} = \frac {1}{6}*14.4=2.4

Finally, Robert returned with $ 2.4

Answer:

$ 2.4
