Question

Which is an equation for the given word problem?



After Joel deposits $25.50 into his savings account, his balance is $275.00.



Which equation can be used to find the amount, n, in his account before he made the deposit?









A.

25.50 + n = 275.00








B.

25.50 – n = 275.00








C.

n + 275.00 = 25.50








D.

n – 275.00 = 25.50

Answer 1

we know its not A because it would give a negative balance and D would give a even higher balance, C would also give a negative number so its B because you subtract the deposit put it.

Answer 2

thx

Answer 3

I disagree....it is A

n = beginning balance
n + 25.50 = 275
n = 275 - 25.50
n = 249.50 <--- his starting balance before he added the 25.50
