Question

Jamar earned $2,500 from his summer job at the grocery store. This is $350 more than twice what his friend Todd earned. Which equation can be used to find t, the amount of money that Todd earned?

Answer 1

T =
`(J - 250)/(2)`

Explanation:

J = Jamar's earnings

T = Todd's earnings

J = 2T + 250

Derive for T:

2T = J -250

T =
`(J - 250)/(2)`

Answer 2

1,075

Explanation:

(2,500-350)/2
