Answer:

£112 initial + £20= £ 132

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial amount= x

  • (x-x/2+20)*3/4= 57
  • (x/2+20)= 4*57/3
  • x/2+20=76
  • x/2=56
  • x=2*56
  • x=112

And he received £20, added to initial amount it total to £132

Lets verify the answer:

  • 112
  • 112-56= 56
  • 56+20=76
  • 76-76/4= 76-19= 57
  • 57=57

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

(57 ÷ 4_1 +57 _20) ÷2

(57÷3 +57 _20) ÷2

(19+57 _20)÷2

(76 _ 20)÷2

(56 ) ÷2

= 28
