Answer:

D = $34

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use J to represent Jumps' savings, and D to represent David's savings.

J = $55

We know David's savings is equal to 21 less than Jumps'.

This means that if we subtract 21 from 55, we will have David's savings.

D = 55 - 21

Now, solve:

D = 34

This means David has $34 in savings.
