    Owen earned $ 36 on Saturday afternoon

    Solution:

    Let "x" be the amount earned by Owen between morning and afternoon

    On Saturday morning, Owen earned $ 24

    By the end of the afternoon he had earned a total of $ 60

    From given information,

    Amount earned on saturday morning + Amount earned on saturday afternoon = Total money earned

    Therefore,

    24 + x = 60

    x = 60 - 24

    x = 36

    Hence Owen earned $ 36 on Saturday afternoon
