Question

Anthony received $150 for his birthday this year. This year was $10 less than half the amount he received last year. How many money did Anthony receive for his birthday last year?

Answer 1

You have to do everything backward. 
150+10=160
160*2=320
He received $320 last year

Answer 2

Answer:

$320

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we just have to create an equation, in the sentence it says that eh reveived 10 than half of what he got last year, so the equation would look like this:

2(150 + 10)= x

x=2(160)

x=320

SO he actually got 320 dollars for his birthday last year.
