Question 1039892
.
A student saved $1,200 for a trip to Europe. By cutting $20 from her daily expenses, she was able to stay three extra days. 
How long had she originally planned to be gone?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
Your equation is 

{{{1200/n - 1200/(n+3)}}} = {{{20}}}

to determine "n", the number of days she planned originally for the trip.


To solve it, multiply both sides by n*(n+3).
