Question

Chris saved x dollars and spent half of his savings buying video games. After earning an additional $10 cutting grass, he had $32. If the equation one half times x plus 10 equals 32 represents the scenario, how much did he start with in his savings?

Answers

  1. The amount of money Chris started with in his savings is $44

    Equation

    • Amount Chris saved = $x
    • Amount spent on video games = 1/2x
    • Amount earned additional = $10
    • Total amount Chris saved = 32
    1/2x + 10 = 32
    1/2x = 32 – 10
    1/2x = 22
    x = 22 ÷ 1/2
    x = 22 × 2/1
    x = $44
    Therefore, the amount of money Chris started with in his savings is $44
