Question

Mia saved $95.25 in 3 months. She saved $49.00 in the first month and $7.43 in the second month. How much money did Mia save in the third month?

Answer 1

38.82 if you add them all together they give you 95.25

Answer 2

49.00 + 7.43 + x = 95.25
56.43 + x = 95.25
Subtract 56.43 from both sides
x = $38.82
