Question

Greg sold his used electric saw and accessories for $759. If he received ten times as much

money for the electric saw as he did for the accessories, find how much money he received
for the electric saw.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let the amount of money received for the accessories = x

Then the Saw would be 10x

The total is 10x + x = 759

11x = 759 Divide both sides by 11

x = 759 / 11

x = 69 dollars.

The saw was 10 times this amount = 10 * 69 = 690

Check

690 + 59 = 759
