Alex finally had $(x+110) amount of money in his account i.e. He had $100 more then before!
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Alex wrote checks on Tuesday for $30 and $40. He also made a deposit in his checking account of $180. Let's solve it step by step :
<u>Alex wrote checks on Tuesday for $30 and $40:</u>
Let's suppose Alex initially had x amount of money out of which $30 & $40 is deducted! so left amount of money is $(x-70) .
<u>He also made a deposit in his checking account of $180:</u>
Out of left money $(x-70) , Alex deposited $180 in account so new money = $(x-70) + $180 = $(x+110)
Therefore, Alex finally had $(x+110) amount of money in his account i.e. He had $100 more then before!
First, you must use a factor tree to find the prime factors of the number.
12
/ \
6 (2)
/ \
(3) (2)
2 , 2 and 3 are the prime factors that make 12
2 x 2 x 3= 12
Or
2^2 x 3= 12
She has $12,488 in savings
Step-by-step explanation:
Ariana plans to use $260 less than three-fourths of savings to buy a car.
If the purchase price of the car is 9,340, we need to find how much
she has in savings
To find the savings
- Assume that she has $x in savings
- Write an equation of x
- Solve the equation to find x
∵ She has $x in savings
∵ She plans to use $260 less than three-fourths of savings
- Three-fourths means
and less than means subtract
∴ She plans to use
x - 26
∵ The purchase price of the car is 9,340
- Equate the expression of x by 9,340
∴
x - 26 = 9,340
Now let us solve the equation
∵
x - 26 = 9,340
- Add 26 to both sides
∴
x = 9,366
- Divide both sides by
∴ x = $12,488
She has $12,488 in savings
