Ken started the day with some money in is pocket. After he took some money out of his bank account, he had $4 more than twice the amount he started with. He then received a birthday present which doubled the amount of money he had with him. Ken now had $100 in his pocket. How much did he start the day with?
I need to know how to do this.
