Al saves pennies. he agreed to give 3/7 of his pennies to bev if she would give 3/7 of what she got from al to carl and if carl in turn would give 3/7 of what he got from bev to dani. bev, carl, and dani agreed and dani received 216 pennies. how many pennies did al have initially?

2744 pennies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pennies Al have initially.

We have been given that Al agreed to give 3/7 of his pennies to Bev, so number of pennies Bev will get would be .

We are also told that Bev gave 3/7 of what she got from Al to Carl, so number of pennies that Carl will get would be .

Further, Carl gave 3/7 of what he got from Bev to Dani, so number of pennies that Dani will get would be .

We are also told that Dani received 216 pennies. Now, we will equate 216 to and solve for x as shown below:

Therefore, Al have 2744 pennies initially.
