Given:
The amount of money Anna saved last month = $ 158.
The amount of money Anna saved this month = $ 47 more than last month
Required:
We need to find the amount of money Anna saved this month.
Explanation:
Let m be the amount of money Anna saved this month.
[tex]m=\text{ \$ 47 more than last month}[/tex]
$ 47 more than last month means adding 47 to the last month's amount.
[tex]m=\text{ \$158+ \$47}[/tex]
The equation is
[tex]m=158+47.[/tex]
Add 158 and 47, we get 205.
[tex]m=205.[/tex]
[tex]m=\text{ \$}205.[/tex]
Final answer:
Anna saved $ 205 this month
