HELP

Kevin has $25 in his checking
account. If Kevin has $2.20
less than 4 times the amount
that Molly has in her
account, what is the
amount of money in
Molly's account?

Answer 1

Answer: $6.80

Explanation:

We will represent the amount of money that Molly has with a m. So it tells us the relationship between Kevin's amount and Molly's amount. It is says Kevin has 2.20 less that 4 times Molly's amount so we could represent it by the equation.

25 = 4m -2.20 solve for m.

+2.20 +2.20

27.20 = 4m

m= 6.8

4(6.8) = 27.20 - 25 = 2.20

Answer 2

$6.8

Explanation:

Let x be the amount of money in Molly's amount

according to question,

4x-25=2.20

4x=2.20+25

4x=27.20

x=27.20/4

x=6.8

So,the amount of money in Molly's amont is $6.8
