Question

BRAINLIEST + 75 POINTS. Natalie has a certain amount of money. She spent $39 and has ¾ of the original amount left. Write a mathematical equation that represents this situation.

Answer 1

Answer:

$39 and has 3/4 left, that means that she had spent 1/4 of her money.

39 = 1/4 (take away one from each side)

now you can bring the 4 to the same side as the 39

39 x 4 = 156

multiply and you get 156

that should be the correct answer

EDIT:

if you also need to check to see if it goes to 3/4 take

156/39=4

now break 156/4

= 39

so 39/156= 1/4

so if you 39*4= 4/4 or 4

Answer 2

Answer:

• Equation: x - 39 = (3/4)x
• Solution: $156

================

Let the original amount be x.

Natalie spent $39 and 3/4 of the amount left.

Show this as equation:

• x - 39 = (3/4)x

Solve it:

• x - (3/4)x = 39
• (1/4)x = 39
• x = 39*4
• x = 156
