Answer:

You originally had $13.50.

Explanation:

If you spent $6.50 to buy a pair of gloves and now have $7 left, how much money did you have originally?

There are two ways to solve this

Way #1:

Simply add $7 to $6.50 to find how much you had before (since your original amount has subtracted by $6.50, so just add the $6.50 again to get your original amt.) This will give you $13.50.

Way #2:

Make a equation:

Let's assume x is the amount of money you had originally.

x - 6.50 = 7

Isolate the variable (Add 6.50 to both sides):

x = 13.50

You originally had $13.50.
