Select the correct solution method below, where x represents Alison's money.

Answer 1

13$ is the right answer

Explanation:

Answer 2

`7x=91`

$13.

Explanation:

Let x represent money that Alison has.

We have been given that Leo has 7 times as much money as Alison had. So the amount of money that Leo has, would be
`7x`.

We are also told that Leo had $91, so we will equate
`7x` with 91 and solve for x as:

`7x=91`

To solve for x, we will divide both sides by 7:

`(7x)/(7)=(91)/(7)`

`x=13`

Therefore, Alison has $13.
