Tyler has $4.50 in a bank in his bedroom. Each day he adds $1.50 to it. Which equation can be used to find out how many days it will take for Tyler to save $30.00?

Answer:

  • See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • Initial amount is $4.50
  • Adding every day $1.50
  • Number of days is x
  • Final amount is $30

The equation we need:

  • 4.50 + 1.50x = 30

Solve to find the number of days:

  • 1.50x = 30 - 4.50
  • 1.50x = 25.50
  • x = 25.50/1.50
  • x = 17 days

Tyler's Initial amount = $ 4.50

He adds every day = $ 1.50

The final amount will be = $ 30.00

The number of days is = x

In mathematical expression,

→ 4.50 + 1.50x = 30

Now we have to,

→ find out how many days it will take for Tyler to save $ 30.00?

Let's solve the equation,

→ 4.50 + 1.50x = 30

→ 1.50x = 30 - 4.50

→ 1.50x = 25.50

→ x = 25.50/1.50

→ [ x = 17 ]

Hence, it will take 17 days to save $ 30.
