Answer: Rita has $25 saved.

Explanation:

You could think about it this way: $69 is $6 less than 3 times the amount of money that she has. So, let's solve this:

1) First you would add $6 to the $69 that the skateboard costs because you need to know what her savings would be if she multiplied it by 3.

$69+$6=$75

2) Now that we know that if we tripled her savings, we would have $75. We can now find out how much she actually has saved up by dividing the total of $75 by 3.

$75÷3=$25

I hope this helped you with your question!
