Question Posted Tuesday September 20 2005, 3:17 pm
i need help with one math problem on my homework:
Mr. Alvarez withdrew from his saving account $25 per week for each of 8 weeks. He then had $1,623 in his account. How much did he have in his account before he made these withdrawals?
soccergurlie1220 answered Tuesday September 20 2005, 4:08 pm: well ok to find the totaly he withdrew you'd do 25 times 8= X and to solve for X youd times 25 times 8 which is 200. So now you just add 1,623 to 200 to write this equation you'd write 1,623+200=x and the answer is 1823. Well at lease that's what i got. HOPE I HELPED!! btw if ya need any more help please ask me cause i hated math when i didn't understand it atll.
XSugarPieX77 answered Tuesday September 20 2005, 3:37 pm: ok, there were 8 weeks, so you have to multiply 8 times $25, which comes out to be 200. So, he took 200 dollars from his acount, and had $1,623 left right? So, add the 200 to the 1,623 and theres your answer.Here is the equation:

XoBaByLoVEoX answered Tuesday September 20 2005, 3:22 pm: Hiya! I believe it would be 1,823 dollars. If you take away 25 for 8 weeks thats 200 dollars. add 200 to the amount after the withdrawels and there u go!
sbloemeke answered Tuesday September 20 2005, 3:22 pm: Well, you don't know how much he initially had, right? So, assign that "X". He subtracts $25 for 8 weeks. That's from the initial value of x. So, it's X-25(8). After that was done, he had $1623 left in his account. That is the result of the operation. X-25(8)=1623. That's the hard part.
After that, it's simply algebrea. X-400=1623, and add 400 to both sides to get 2023.
