Answer:

D. $175

Explanation:

Nick donated 2/5 of his money to charity, and it says he also spent $70 on charity.

Also, since we don't know the amount of money he has in his bank account, we write it as x. We have the equation:

(2/5)x = 70

The best way to isolate a variable with its coefficient is to multiply both sides with the reciprocal of said coefficient:

(5/2)(2/5)(x) = 70(5/2)

x = 175.

Hope you find this helpful!
