Question

Which equation can be used to find the answer? Camilla needs $65 for a pair of hiking shoes. She already has $19 saved. How much more does she need to save?
a. n+19 = 65 n = 46 $46
b. n÷2 = 19 n = 38 $38
c. n–19 = 65 n = 84 $84
d. n÷2 = 65 n = 130 $130

Answer 1

The answer is a. n+19=65 n=46 $46. To find out how much more she needs to save, you would add that amount with 19 to get a total of 65. So your equation would be n+19=65. Then once you have your equation, solve it. Subtract 19 from both sides to get n by itself.
n+19=65
-19 -19
n=46
So your answer for how much more she needs to save is $46.
