To solve this problem using a bar diagram:
First, draw a bar to represent the original amount Mr. Franks has, which is $353.
Next, draw a smaller bar to represent the amount he spends on the mobile phone, which is $262.
Finally, draw a third bar to represent the amount of money he finds in his pocket, which is $10.
The lengths of the three bars should add up to the total amount of money Mr. Franks has after the purchases.
To find out how much money Mr. Franks has now, add the lengths of the second and third bars. The length of the second bar represents $262, and the length of the third bar represents $10.
Therefore, the total length of the second and third bars is $262 + $10 = $272.
So, the total amount of money Mr. Franks has now is $353 - $272 = $81.
Therefore, Mr. Franks has $81 now.
