.
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
∵ 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
