Answer 1

Word Problem Leading to Simple Equation.

Last Friday Adam had $22.33 : 22.33

He received some money for cleaning: Let the amount of money he received be x, so that she now has:

`22.33+x`

He is left with $32, meaning his total money is now $32 :

Mathematically, we write:

`\begin{gathered} 22.33+x=32 \\ \text{Collecting like terms, we get,} \\ x=32-22.33 \\ x=\text{ \$9.67} \end{gathered}`

Hence, the correct answer is $9.67
