Question

Gamal spent $12.50 at the book store. The difference between the amount he spent at the video game store and the amount he spent at the book store was $17. The equation d - 12.5 = 17 can be used to represent this situation, where d is the amount Gamal spent at the video game store. Which equation is an equivalent equation that can be used to find the amount Gamal spent at the video game store?

Answer 1

OK 12.50+ 5.50=17 I think d is five point fifty

Answer 2

d = 17 +12.5

Explanation:

Gamal spent $12.50 at the book store.

The difference between the amount he spent at the video game store and the amount he spent at the book store was $17.

The equation d - 12.5 = 17 can be used to represent this situation, where d is the amount Gamal spent at the video game store.

Here we have to find "d"

d - 12.5 = 17

To find d add 12.5 on both sides, we get

d = 17 + 12.5

The equation is d = 17 +12.5

Hope this will helpful.
