Question

While shopping, Randel had 3 times as much money Tonia.

He spent $38 and has $10 left.
How much money does Tonya have?

Answer 1

Explanation:

First create an equation that addresses the question and work backwards.

Randel starts with $10.

He spent $38, so he originally had $48. (10+38)

He had 3 times as much money than Tonia. (48/3)

48/3=16, so Tonia has $16.
