Question

Evan used half of his paycheck for his car payment, then 125 for groceries. If he has 215 left, how much was his paycheck?

Answer 1

Answer:

680

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes the paycheck amount, we can therefore have the following:

215 = x - 0.5x - 125

x- 0. 5x = 215 + 125

x(1 - 0.5) = 340

x0.5 = 340

x = 340/0.5

x = 680

Therefore, Evan has 680 on his paycheck.

Answer 2

Answer:

680

Step-by-step explanation:

125 + 215 = 340

340+340 = 680
