Question

Jade and Eliza went shopping at a mall. Jade spent $10 more than 5 times the amount that Eliza spent. Jade spent a total of $150.

Answer 1

140

Explanation:

Let total money spent by Eliza's be represented as x

Five times amount Eliza spent = 5x and total amount spent by Jade is $150

So it will be $10+ 5x =$150

5x= 150- 10

5x= 140

x = 140÷5

x= 28

........................

So therefore Eliza's amount spent = $28 and

5x$28 = $140

Jade spent $10 more equals $10+$140= $150(Total money spent by Jade).
