Let x = the total number of pennies her piggy bank can hold.
Then 2/3x = the number of pennies she started with
Then 2/3x - 80 = the number of pennies she has left after taking out 80 pennies.
Then 1/2x = the number of pennies she has left after taking out 80 pennies.
Build the equation.
2/3x - 80 = 1/2x
Subtract 1/2x from each side of the equation.
(2/3x - 80) - 1/2x = 1/2x - 1/2x
1/6x - 80 = 0
Add 80 to both sides of the equation.
(1/6x - 80) + 80 = 0 + 80
1/6x = 80
Divide both sides by 1/6.
(1/6x) / 1/6 = 80 / 1/6
x = 480
So, Linda's piggy bank can hold 480 pennies!
The answer to this question is B, because neither of suggestsions make sense
Answer:
76
Step-by-step explanation:

I hope this helps!
Answer: 29 and 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Since one number is 5 more than another
53-5 = 48
Then we divide that by two to get the value of one of the two numbers
48/2= 24
In order to get the number which is 5 more than the other, we add 5
24+5= 29
So the two numbers would be 29 and 24.
Check:
29+24= 53
