Question

Last Friday Cicely had $22.50. Over the weekend she received some money for

cleaning out the attic. She now has $32. Which equation represents how much
money she received?

Answer 1

It should be $32 - $22.50.

Explanation:

This is because we're trying to find out the amount she received. So we will subtract the amount she already has from how much she now has to figure out how much she received. 32 - 22.50 = 9.50.

Hope this helps:)!
