Al saves pennies. He agreed to give six thirteenths of his pennies to Bev if she would give six thirteenths of what she got from Al to Carl and if Carl in turn would give six thirteenths of what he got from Bev to Dani. Bev, Carl, and Dani agreed and Dani received 2376 pennies. How many pennies did Al have initially?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pennies that Al had initially.

He agreed to give six thirteenths of his pennies to Bev. It means that the number of pennies that he gave to Bev is 6/13 × x = 6x/13

if she would give six thirteenths of what she got from Al to Carl, it means that the number of pennies that Carl received is 6/13 × 6x/13 = 36x/169

if Carl in turn would give six thirteenths of what he got from Bev to Dani and Dani received 2376 pennies, it means that

6/13 × 36x/169 = 2376

216x/2179 = 2376

216x = 2376 × 2179

216x = 5220072

x = 5220072/216

x = 24167

AI had 24167 pennies initially
