Answer:I think Jordan is this a trick question
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
960
Step-by-step explanation:
We start with the variable "x". Let's call "x" Raina's penny bank.
After adding 360 pennies, at the end, she has 5/8x, or 5/8.
So we start with
(1/4)x + 360 = 5/8x
Let's subtract 1/4x from both sides
360 = 5/8x - 1/4x
Remember, we need to use common denominators to subtract, so 1/4 becomes 2/8
360 = 5/8x - 2/8x
Now we simplify to get
360=3/8x
Multiply the reciprocal of 3/8 to both sides which is 8/3
360 * 8/3 = x
Answer is 960 pennies.
Therefore Raina's bank hold 960 pennies.
I got x=0 because I simplified both sides of the equation and then isolated the equation
