Huds on spent 10.25 of his money on wicker each week for two weeks. Next he collected \$4.65 and 6.70 from sells. Then he had 45.53 to spend. How much did he have onginally?

To find out how much Huds originally had, we can work backward. He spent \(10.25\) on wicker each week for two weeks, totaling \(10.25 \times 2 = 20.50\). He then collected \(4.65\) and \(6.70\) from sales, which adds up to \(4.65 + 6.70 = 11.35\). Finally, he had \(45.53\) left to spend. If we let \(X\) be the original amount, we can set up the equation: \[ X - 20.50 + 11.35 = 45.53. \] Rearranging gives us: \[ X - 20.50 + 11.35 = 45.53 \] \[ X - 9.15 = 45.53 \] \[ X = 45.53 + 9.15 \] \[ X = 54.68. \] So, Huds originally had \(54.68\). Remember, budgeting and keeping track of your expenses can help you avoid surprises when trying to figure out your original amounts!
