Answer:
Explanation:
Let Freda's sum = x
Donnie has 3/4 x
He spends 63 dollars. His sum is now
3/4x - 63
Now the equation looks like this
6(3/4x - 63) = x Remove the brackets
6*3/4 x - 378 =x
6 * 3/4 = 4 1/2
4 1/2 x - 378 = x Add 378 to both sides
4 1/2 x = x + 378 Subtract x from both sides
3.5 x = 378 Divide by 3.5
x = 378 /3.5
x = 108
Since x = 108, that's how much Freda had. (She spent nothing).
