Question

Ariana plans to use $260 less than $ 3\4 frac{3}{4}$ of her savings to buy a car. If the purchase price of the car is $9,340, how much does she have in savings? Let s = amount in savings

Answer 1

Ariana has $12,800 in savings.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much Ariana has in savings, we need to solve the equation. Let's assume that she has 's' amount in savings.

Ariana plans to use $260 less than 3/4 of her savings to buy a car. So, the equation becomes:

3/4*s - 260 = 9340

Now, we can solve this equation to find the value of 's'.

First, add 260 to both sides:

3/4*s = 9600

Next, multiply both sides by 4/3 to isolate 's':

s = (9600 * 4/3) = 12800

Ariana has $12,800 in savings.
