A. 1,225.70 + x = 1,460.89
B. 1,225.70 + 25.79 + x = 1,460.89
C. 1,460.89 + x = 1,536.71
D. 1,460.89 + 25.79 + x = 1,536.71

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

Mateo has a balance of 1,460.89 dollars, and he knows that check 354 was for 25.79 dollars. Therefore, to find the amount, in dollars, X, of check 353, Mateo needs to subtract the known amount of check 354 from his current balance.

So, the equation that can be used to find the amount of check 353 is:

1,460.89 - 25.79 = X

Thus the correct answer is:

A. 1,225.70 + x = 1,460.89
