Question

Hideo Yamata makes a deposit of $2,235. He remembers that the checks he deposited total twice the amount of currency he deposited. How much did he deposit in checks?

Answer 1

Total amount deposited in checks is $1490

Explanation:

Amount deposited by Yamata = $2235.

The amount of checks is twice the amount of currency deposited. Let the amount of currency deposited be represented by x.

So that,

Amount of checks = 2x, then;

2x + x = 2235

3x = 2235

x =
`(2235)/(3)`

= 745

The amount of currency deposited is $745.

Therefore,

amount deposited in checks = 2 x $745

= 1490

Total amount deposited in checks is $1490.
