I meant I did it after you posted it on that last question...here I'll copy it and paste it here

"So we should set this up

they have 3500 total for repairs.

already spent 1000

so they have 2500 left

they have 5 windows to replace....how much can each window cost

5w = 2500

how do you solve for w...?"

jazzyfa30 · Answer

yes exactly and it told me the answer was wrong

johnweldon1993 · Answer

That makes no sense...

if they have 2500 left for repairs...

the max they can spend on 5 things...is 500 each

did you write it as

w = $500  ?
