In March, Isaiah and Freddie had the same amount of money in their savings accounts. In April, Isaiah deposited $210 into his ac
count. Freddie increased the money in his account by 15%. When they compared their balances, they found that they were still equal. How much money did they both have in their accounts in March?
Let the amount deposited by each of them in march be m. in April, Isaiah deposited 210$, this means the amount in his account became m+210 Freddie increased the amount by 15%, this means that the amount of money in his account became: m+0.15m since both values are still equal, we will equate both equations and solve for m. m+210 = m+0.15m 0.15m = 210 m = 1400$
