Start with what she was left with and work backwards
17.76 x 2 = 35.52
35.52 + 25 = 60.52
60.52 + 14.48 = 75

She was given 75 for her birthday

Work backwards.

After she put half of what she had left in, she had 17.76.

Multiply by 2:

17.76 * 2 = 35.52

Add 25:

35.52 + 25 = 60.52

Add 14.48:

75

So she received $75 on her birthday.
