Question

Joey wants to buy a math book which cost 500.00. This is 74.00 more than three times the amount he has saved. How much has he ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Amount he has saved = 142

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount Joey has = x

Cost of maths book = 500

By 1st condition, 3x + 74 = 500

                         3x = 500 - 74

                          x = 426/3

                          x = 142.
