Llamemos x euros a la cantidad de dinero con la que empezaste. Después de gastar un cuarto, te quedan 3x/4 euros. Luego, recibes el doble del dinero que te quedaba, que es 2*(3x/4) = 3x/2 euros. La cantidad total que tienes ahora es 3x/4 (dinero restante) + 3x/2 (dinero recibido) = 9x/4 euros. Como son 30 euros más de lo que empezaste, podemos escribir la ecuación: 9x/4 = x + 30 Resolviendo para x: Multiplica ambos lados por 4 para deshacerte de la fracción: 9x = 4x + 120 Resta 4x de ambos lados para aislar x: 5x = 120 Divide ambos lados por 5 para encontrar x: x = 24 Por lo tanto, originalmente tenías 24 €.
