Question

ou spend $62 on a game, receive $50 for painting a fence, and give $10 to your friend. You have $44 left. How much money did you start with?

Answer 1

Answer:

$66

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the money that you started off with be called x.

You spend $62 on a game: x-62

You receive $50 for painting a fence: x-62+50 = x-12

You give $10 to your friend: x-12-10 = x-22

You have $44 left: x-22=44, x=44+22=66
