From left to right
#1 Mr. Reed Richard – Blue Marbles
#2 Ms. Sue Storm – Red Marbles
#3 Mr. Johnny Storm – White Marbles
#4 Mr. Ben Grimm – Green Marbles.

Let us label the houses from left to right as #1, #2, #3, #4. Now let us split the hints in different category.
a) Mr. Reed Richard’s house is to the left of the green marbles one
b) The third one is made of white marbles
c) Ms. Sue Storm owns a red marbles house
d) Mr. Johnny Storm does not live on either ends
e) Mr. Johnny Storm lives right of the blue marbles house
f) Mr. Ben Grimm lives in the fourth house
g) The first house is not made up of red marbles

By seeking all the (g) and (b), we are sure that the #1 is not made up of red marbles and nor is the #3. Now with (f) we know that Mr. Ben Grimm lives in #4 made up of green marbles and keeping in mind (c) #2 must be made of Red Marbles and Ms. Sue Storm lives there. Now moving to the hint (d) Mr. Johnny Storm must be living in #3 and adding up with hint (b), it must be made from white marbles. Now by hint (a) #4 must be made up of green marbles (or Mr. Reed Richard’s house can’t be on its left). Also by (f) Mr. Ben Grimm lives there. All of it leaves Mr. Reed Richards living in #1 with blue marbles construction.

Solution:

The check was for dollars 31.63.

The bank teller gave her dollars 63.31
She spent .05, and then she had dollars 63.26, which is twice the check.

Let x be the dollars of the check, and y be the cent.

The check was for 100x + y cent
He was given 100y + x cent

Also
100y + x - 5 = 2(100x + y)
Expanding this out and rearranging, we find:
98y = 199x + 5

or 199x ≡ -5 (mod 98)
or 98*2*x + 3x ≡ -5 (mod 98)
3x ≡ -5 ≡ 93 (mod 98)
this quickly leads to x = 31
