Question

Max is saving $10 a month for a summer vacation. If he also has $50 from his grandmother, how many months will Max need to save to have a total of 200? Choose the equation that represents this situation.

1. 50m + 20 = 200
2. 50m - 10 = 200
3. 10m - 50 = 200
4. 10m + 50 = 200​

Answer 1

The answer is 4. 10m+50=200

Explanation:

Answer 2

4.

Explanation:

1. 1 isn't right because he doesn't get $50 a month.

2. See 1.

3. This isn't right because you wouldn't subtract the $50 from 10m.

4. This is right because the total of months plus the 50 will get him to 200.
