Question

Johnny spends half of his weekly paycheck on
groceries. He then earns $55 doing yard work for
his grandma. He ends the week with $216. How
much is his paycheck?

Answer 1

Answer:

$ 322

Step-by-step explanation:

x = his paycheck

x - 1/2x + 55 = 216

1/2x + 55 = 216

1/2x = 216 - 55

1/2x = 161

x = 161 * 2

x = $ 322 <===
