Answer: 360?
Step-by-step explanation: Correct me If wrong
Answer:
510pesos
Explanation:
He bought 3 dozen eggs for 120pesos per dozen: 3 × 120 = 360
Assuming that he gave the exact payment, therefore he has 360pesos.
Then, he owes Tracy 150pesos and he paid it back.
n = the original money Carl has
n - 360 - 150 = 1/2n
n - 1/2n - 360 - 150 = 1/2n - 1/2n
n - 1/2n - 360 - 150 + 360 + 150 = 360 + 150
n - 1/2n = 510
Change to similar fractions:
Combine similar like terms:
Multiply both sides by 2 (to cancel 1/2):
n = 1,020
Carl originally has 1,020pesos before going to the store and now, he has 510pesos.
