Let's denote the amount of money Travis had at the beginning of the day as \( x \).
According to the problem:
1. Travis spent $4 for lunch.
2. He then spent $26 on groceries for dinner.
3. At the end of the day, he had $8 left.
We can create an equation based on this:
\[
x - 4 - 26 = 8
\]
Now, simplify the left side:
\[
x - 30 = 8
\]
Next, add 30 to both sides to solve for \( x \):
\[
x = 8 + 30
\]
\[
x = 38
\]
So, Travis had **$38** at the beginning of the day.
