Add 4.75 to both sides of the equation. B. Subtract 4.75 from both sides of the equation. C. 12.35 + 4.75 = 17.10. D. 12.35 - 4.75 = 7.60. E. Gianna had $7.60 before she bought the smoothie. There is more than one answer.

Answer 1

A. add 4.75 to both sides of the equation.

C. 12.35 + 4.75 = 17.10

Explanation:

Answer 2

Add 4.75 to both sides of the equation.

Explanation:

using the notation from the options in the answer, say the money that Gianna had was m

And she paid $4.75 for a strawberry smoothie.

then we can calculate the money she had by subtracting the $4.75 paid for a strawberry smoothie from m and equating it to her the balance she has currently

so mathematically

m-4.75=12.34

Add 4.75 to both sides of the equation we have

m-4.75+4.75=12.34+4.75

m=$17.09

The correct answer is

Gianna had $17.09 before she bought the smoothie
