Answer:

$15.50.

Explanation:

We have been given that Marta receive x amount dollars for helping her dad in the backyard she spent 1.77 of that amount on snacks. After buying those snacks she had 13.73 left over. We are supposed to find the money that Marta got from his dad.

Amount left after spending $1.77 on snacks would be
x-1.77.

Since Marta has $13.73 left over after buying the snacks, so we will equate
x-1.77 with 13.73 as:


x-1.77=13.73


x-1.77+1.77=13.73+1.77


x=15.50

Therefore, Marta received $15.50 from her dad.
