Frank borrowed $400 from his neighbor. He made 3 payments of $65 each and another payment of $95. How much does Frank still owe?

Answer 1

Hello there!

Frank borrowed $400. He made 3 payments of $65 and an additional payment of $95.

Let's start by setting up our equation.

400 = 3(65) + 95
Multiply 3 by 65.
400 = 195 + 95
Combine like-terms.
400 = 290
Subtract 290 from both sides.
110

Frank still owes $110 to pay.

I hope this helps!
