Answer:

$40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y represent the amount of money that Byron earned mowing the neigbours's lawn.

Since he spent one fourth of his money to see a movie, it means that the amount spent to see a movie would be y/4

Them he spent $6 on porpcon and drinks; which means that the total amount spent

= y/4 + 6

The amount left would be

y - (y/4 + 6) = y - y/4 - 6

When he went home, he had $24.00 left which means that;

y - y/4 - 6 = 24

y - y/4 = 24 + 6

3y/4 = 30

Cross multiply

3y = 120

y = $40

Therefore, Byron earned $40 mowing the neighbour's lawn.
