7.25+6+6+4.25+20=$43.5
forty three dollars and fifty cents
You simply need to subtract x from both sides:
In fact solving an equation for a variable means to isolate that variable on one side of the equation, and moving all remaining terms on the other side.
In this case, we solved the equation for y, because we wrote it as

What percentage of his monthly budget does Doug put in savings?
O A. 13%
B. 6%
C. 11%
D. 16%
To get the percentage of his monthly budget does Doug put in savings, first we need to get the total savings
Total savings = 403+806+868+496+341+186
Total money = $3100
Amount spent on savings = $341
Percentage savings = amount spent on savings/Total money × 100%
Percentage savings = 341/3100 × 100
Percentage savings = 341/31
Percentage savings = 11%
Hence the percentage of the total money spent on savings is 11%
