tom makes $183.20 in 4 days. How much does he make in 3 days?

Question

anonymous · Answer

Set up your equation: d(the number of days)*x(the variable in place for how much he makes a day)=m(money he makes)

Plug in what you know 4x=183.20
Solve for x
Then multiply x by three to find your answer.

anonymous · Answer

183.20/4 = x/3
cross multiply
(4)(x) = (183.20)(3)
4x = 549.6
x = 549.60/4
x = 137.40

137.40 in 3 days
