Question 78887: If Jan doubles the amount of money she has now and then saves $25 more, she will have $499, the cost of a holiday tour package.
Write all equations that could represent the situation above.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x = amount of money that Jan has. Now, just translate the sentence into an equation:
Twice the amount of money PLUS $25 more equals $499.
2x+ 25 = 499
Subtract 25 from each side:
2x+25 -25 = 499-25
2x = 474
Divide both sides by 2:
x= $237
You can check this by doubling the amount and adding $25. You should get $499.
