Question

Kaitlin collected donations for a local animal shelter. She collected a total of $11 on Friday. She collected 7 times that amount on Saturday. Write and solve an equation that shows how much money Kaitlin collected on Saturday.

Answer 1

Explanation:

she collected $11 on Friday. She collected 7 times that amount on Saturday.

When it would say times that amount you automatically know you have to multiply.

Equation - 7 x 11

Solve - 7 x 11 = 77

Answer 2

$77

Explanation:

Let Friday be the variable f.

Let Saturday be the variable s.

`f=11 \\ 7f=s`

Substitute 11 for f in the second equation.

`s=7(11) \\ s=77`

Therefore, Kaitlin collected $77 on Saturday
