Question

Jeremy wants to save $130 to buy a bird bath. He has already saved $89, how much more does he need to save?

Write an equation and solve.
A) x + 130 = 89; Jeremy needs to save an additional -$41.
B) 130x = 89; Jeremy needs to save an additional $0.68.
C) 89x = 130; Jeremy needs to save an additional $1.46
D) x + 89 = 130; Jeremy needs to save an additional $41.

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

If Jeremy has saved $89 already, he still needs more money.

Finding the difference between 130 and 89 will give you 41.

$89- what Jeremy saved already

$41- what Jeremy needs to save

$130- the total price of the bird bath

x- $41 dollars

Hope that was helpful.
