D $550

Answer 1

Let's say Jeff started with x dollars.
At the end of the day, he had 5 times as much money, so he had 5x dollars.
We're told that he ended the day with $110, so 5x = $110.
To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 5: x = $110 / 5 = $<<110/5=22>>22.
Therefore, Jeff started the day with $22, so the answer is $\boxed{A}$
