Umm i have another question.

Answer 4

In March, Isaiah and Freddie had the same amount of money in their savings accounts. In April, Isaiah deposited $210 into his account. Freddie increased the money in his account by 15%. When they compared their balances, they found that they were still equal.

How much money did they both have in their accounts in March?

Answer 5

I think it is $2940 that they had in march

Answer 6

is it right?

Answer 7

No. Now think this. We have the equation 15% = $210 dollars.
So, 15% = 210.
You want to figure out how much money 5% is, so there are three 5%s in 15%.
Divide 210 by 3, which is $70 dollars.
Now how many 5%s are there in a 100%? Can you figure it out from here?
