Answer 1

SOLUTION

GIVEN

• You have $ 185 saved up

• You received some money as a birthday gift

• You will need twice the new total to buy a tablet computer that costs $ 500

TO DETERMINE

The money received as a birthday gift

EVALUATION

Here it is given that, I have $ 185 saved up

Suppose I have received $ P as a birthday gift

∴ The new total = $ ( 185 + P )

Now it is also stated that I need twice the new total to buy a tablet computer that costs $ 500

So by the given condition

$\sf{2(185 +P) = 500 }$

$\implies \: \sf{185 +P = 250 }$

$\implies \sf{P = 250 - 185 }$

$\implies \sf{P = 65 }$

Hence I have received $ 65 as a birthday gift
