Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: No, the equation is not correct

Explanation:

Victor has saved $89.25 for a bicycle that costs $129.85. To get the remaining amount that is needed to complete the bicycle, we subtract the amount saved by Victor from the total amount. This will be:

= $129.85 - $89.25

= $40.6

The amount remaining is $40.6

The equation written by Victor is

= $89.25 + $129.85

= $219.1

The equation written by Victor is not correct. The correct equation is:

= $129.85 - $89.25 = $40.6
