Question number 10 i need to break down the problem and write out the equation

Answer 1

Given:

The deducted amount = $185

The amount left after deduction = $576

To find- the earnings.

Explanation-

Let the total earnings be x.

After the deduction, the money left with him is

`=x-185`

And it is given that x - 185 = 576. Thus, the value of x will be

`\begin{gathered} x=576+185 \\ x=\text{\$}761\text{ } \end{gathered}`

Hence, Mr. Mustard earns $761.

The answer is $761.
