Question

Over the summer, after several transactions in Jerry's bank account, he now has a balance of $2,424. However, this week they had an expense of putting in a new fence around their backyard. The new balance in their account at the end of the week is now $1.200. Write and solve an equation to determine the cost of the fence, c.

Answer 1

c = $2424 - 41200

C = $1224

Explanation:

As a result of the expense, the amount in his account decreased. In order to determine the cost of the fence, subtract the initial amount from the final amount

c = $2424 - 41200

C = $1224
