Answer 1

Alex had $196.54 in her account before the purchase.

Explanation:

Given:

Amount spend on medicines = $35.31

Balance Amount Remaining = $161.23

We need to find the amount in her account before purchase.

Solution:

Let the amount in her account before purchase be 'x'.

Now we can say that;

Amount in her account before purchase minus Amount spend on medicines is equal to Balance amount remaining.

framing in equation form we get;

`x-35.31=161.23`

Now by Using Addition property of equality we will add both side by 35.31 we get;

`x-35.31+35.31=161.23+35.31\\\\x=\$196.54`

Hence Alex had $196.54 in her account before the purchase.
