Question

Mr. Wilson has $3,000 in his bank account. Ms. Nelson has 10 times as much money in her bank account as Mr. Wilson has in his bank account. How much money does Ms. Nelson have in her bank account?

Answer 1

$3,000 X 10 =$30,000

Ms. Nelson has $30,000 in her account

Answer 2

Since Mr. Wilson has $3,000 and Ms. Nelson has 10 times more than that, we can set up a basic equation determining how much money Ms. Nelson has.

`(10)(3000)=30000`

Ms. Nelson has $30,000 while Mr. Wilson has only $3,000.
