Mr. Maxwell started three separate bank accounts for his three children, Jerry, Hector, and Nina. He put the same amount of money in each child’s account. If Tony withdrew half of this money and spent it all on a $15 CD, how much money did Mr. Maxwell deposit in total? ( I need an equation )

Respuesta :

m= whole savings account

m / 2 =15

multiply both sides by 2

m = 30

The amount of money that Mr. Maxwell deposited in total is $90 and the equation is (x/2 = $15) × 3

Since Tony withdrew half of this money and spent it all on a $15 CD, therefore the total amount that Tony had will be represented by x. This will then be:

x × 1/2 = $15

x/2 = $15

x = 2 × $15

x = $30

From the information given, we are told that the three children all have the same amount of money in their account. Therefore, the total amount will then be:

= $30 × 3

= $90
