Answer:

2/3x = $2500

Explanation:

Jay saves 2/3 of the savings account for his college education.

Money set aside for the college education = $2500.

Let the total money in the savings account be $.

2/3 x =$2500.

2x = 3* 2500

= 7500/2

= 3750.

Total money saved in the savings account is $3750.

Therefore out of the total money $2500 is saved for college education.
