    A) 110 - (3 * 14x) = 68

    B) 3*14 is 42 so he spent $42 in two weeks 42+68 = 110 so he had $110 to begin with

    C) he will run out of money in about 22 days (22.6666666667)

    Spent a day = $3

    After 14 days = $68 left

    a) x = 3

    14x = - 68

    14x + 68 = 0

    b) 14 (3) + 68 = $120

    c) total money = y

    y - 14x = 120

    y = 14 (3) + 120

    y = 172

    172 - 3n = 0

    3n = 172

    n = 57 days and 8 hours

    Sorry If I am wrong, but I've tried my best to give you the solution ...
