This riddle is based on a casino that charges an enty and an exit fee (stupid I know) but lets go along for the fun of it!!
Tom walks into the casino with a (X) amount of cash and pays $5 as entry fee.
He then gambles and doubles all of his remaining cash.
Then he leaves the Casino and pays the $5 exit fee.
He goes straight to another casino with his winnings and again pays $5 as entry fee.
He then gambles and again doubles all his remainig cash.
He then leaves the casino and pays $5 as exit fee. After paying this he has no money!
How much money did he carry before he went to the first casino?

after entering casino #1, he has X-5 dollars
after gambling, he has 2X-10 dollars
after exiting casino #1, he has 2X-15 dollars
after entering casino #2, he has 2X-20 dollars
after gambling, he has 4X-40 dollars
after exiting casino #2, he has 4X-45 dollars which equals 0
4X = $45
X = $11.25

$11.25.
Good thing he didn't lose more at the second casino, otherwise he'd be stuck in it like Charlie on the MTA.
