Answer and Explanation:

Suppose Waheeda needs x more dollars.

Right now, she has $15. She needs x more, so we add x to 15. The end result we hope to have is $75. So, the equation is:

x + 15 = 75

To solve, we simply subtract 15 from both sides: x = 75 - 15 = 60

Thus, she still needs $60.

Hope this helps!
