Question

When Natasha saves $13 more she will have enough money to buy a basic MP3 player she the player she wants to buy cost $204 which is three times the cost of the basic player which equation could be used to determine n the number of dollars Natasha has already saved

Answer 1

n = (204 / 3) - 13

Explanation:

In order to calculate the amount that Natasha has already saved we need to first calculate how much a basic player (B) costs. Since the player that Natasha wants is 3 times more than the basic player and costs $204 we simply divide this amount by 3.

B = 204 / 3

Now that we have the equation for the basic player we need to subtract $13 from it since it's what Natasha is missing to reach the value of the basic player.

n = (204 / 3) - 13

Now we have the equation which determines the number of dollars Natasha has already saved.
