Respuesta :

Bob has $500 in his account.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Amount in How's account = $70 more than [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] of Bob's amount

Amount in How's account = $170

Let,

x represent the amount Bob has.

According to given statement;

70 + [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] of Bob's money = Amount in How's account

[tex]70+\frac{1}{5}x=170\\\\\frac{350+x}{5}=170[/tex]

Multiplying both sides by 5

[tex]5*\frac{350+x}{5}=170*5\\\\350+x=850\\x=850-350\\x=500[/tex]

Bob has $500 in his account.
