Question

Joe had a balance of $34 on his credit card. He bought a sandwich and charged $40 on his credit card. 1a.) Write an equation that represents this scenario.

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Given that:

Credit card balance = $34

The cost of sandwich purchased us added to the Initial credit card balance as the balance in a credit card is amount owed.

Hence it could be interpreted as though Joe has made purchases which amounts to $34 with his card before purchasing sandwich that costs $40

Hence; new card balance :

(Intial card balance + cost of sandwich)

$34 + $40 = $74
