Ty again

In March, Isaiah and Freddie had the same amount of money in their savings accounts. In April, Isaiah deposited $210 into his account. Freddie increased the money in his account by 15%. When they compared their balances, they found that they were still equal.

Answer 1

let the amount deposited by each of them in march be m.

in April, Isaiah deposited 210$, this means the amount in his account became m+210

Freddie increased the amount by 15%, this means that the amount of money in his account became: m+0.15m

since both values are still equal, we will equate both equations and solve for m.

m+210 = m+0.15m

0.15m = 210

m = 1400$
