Question

The number of dollars in Chi's bank account on Tuesday was 4 times as much as the amount on Friday. How many dollars were in the account on Friday?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Since we are not given actual numerical values then we can use the available information to write an equation that calculates the final amount in the account on Friday (f). In this equation, x will be our variable that represents the amount of money in the account on Tuesday. Since the amount on Tuesday was 4 times more than on Friday, we need to divide the amount on Tuesday by 4 to get the amount on Friday.

f =
`(x)/(4)`

This equation will give us the value of the account on Friday after we input the value of x.
