Given:

Leo had $91, which is 7 times as much money as Alison had.

Let x represents Alison's money.

So, the expression for Leo's money is,


7x=91

Divide both sides of the above equation by 7.


\begin{gathered} (7x)/(7)=(91)/(7) \\ x=13 \end{gathered}

So, Alison had $13.

Therefore, the correct solution method is

A) 7x = 91. Divide both sides by 7. Alison had $13.
