    Since the sixth grade raised 4,800, the next 2/14 of the money was stolen then they made 9/14 the next day. The police investigated but didn't find the money, so they charge 5/14 of the money. A week later they found out that Mr.Strong stole the money and went to jail and paid the bail by using 4/14 of the money. How must money dose the sixth grade have now?
