Answer 1

$74.41

Explanation:

x = Amount of money Sylvia had in her account

Amount of money spent at the Grocery Store= $25.89

Remaining Amount of money after Grocery = $48.52

Hence, By adding the two amount above we get the amount Sylvia had in her account before grocery;

x = $25.89 + $48.52

x = $74.41
