Carl owed his mom $27.

So he decided to get a job in order to pay her back. On his way to the pet store to apply for a job as a dog groomer, he found a dollar bill.

It was his lucky day because he also got the job. The manager told him that he would have to buy an apron with the store’s name on it. It cost $12.

On the first day of work, Carl got a $4 tip for clipping Fifi’s nails.

However, Fifi left a sizeable, deep scratch in Carl’s arm that needed to be stitched by a doctor for $50.

A couple days later, Carl’s friend came by and returned the $10 that he owed Carl.

Carl’s grandma forgot his birthday last month and sent him a check today for $50.

In the middle of the week, Carl forgot to bring his lunch and had to buy it. Lunch costs $5.

Late in the week, Carl was not paying attention and stepped on his brother’s CD. He had to buy a new one for $13.

Finally, Carl received his first paycheck for $56. “Yippee,” thought Carl, “I am finally out of debt and even have some cash in my wallet.”

Then, he dropped his wallet. The wallet fell into the sewer and disappeared from sight, along with the $12 he had in there.

How much did Carl end his week with?
