OMG PLS HELP WITH THIS IM PANICKING OMG I GOT A F IN MATH MY MOM JUST YELLED AT ME IM CRYING PLS HELP WITH THS- PLSS TELL ME WHAT TO DRAW

Answer 1

Ok, here we can see that Mr. Jones has $3,553 in his account, and he actually needs $18,469 to buy the car.

One way of representing this is:

Get a ruler, and draw a line that measures 3.553 cm (or close to it, it shouldn't be exact)

Now draw a line that measures 18.469 cm (again, this shouldn't be exact)

The difference between these lines represents the amount of money that Mr. Jones needs to save.

Now, how we find exactly the quantity?

Let's take the total cost of the car:

$18,469

Now let's subtract the amount of money that Mr. Jones already has:

$18,469 - $3,553 = $14,916

This is the amount of money that Mr. Jones needs to save if he wants to buy the car.
