Answer 2

Answer:  The required amount of money that Victoria originally had in her wallet is $45.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Victoria had some money in her wallet. she went to the mall and spent $8 on a stuffed animal, $7 on lunch and $13 on a gift for her mom.

Then, her brother gave her $10 and she bought a book for $15. Now, she has $12.

We are to find the amount of money that Victoria originally had in her wallet.

Let $ x represents the amount of money that Victoria originally had in her wallet.

Then, according to the given information, we have

$x-8-7-13+10-15=12\\\\\Rightarrow x-43+10=12\\\\\Rightarrow x-33=12\\\\\Rightarrow x=12+33\\\\\Rightarrow x=45.$

Thus, the required amount of money that Victoria originally had in her wallet is $45.
