Question

alright so ya girl is in 7th grade. i got math hw and i need some help urgent! here's the question: The suspect has been withdrawing money from the ATM machine with a stolen debit card. The account he was stealing from initially contained 5,000 dollars. He's been withdrawing 45 dollars every day, and the account now has 1895 dollars. How long has he been withdrawing money? PS, if you can include an equation that shows what's happening in the problem. xoxo

Answer 1

He has been withdrawing money for 69 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of credit card = $5000

Let,

x be the number of days

Amount after withdrawing $45 each day for x days = $1895

Amount left = Total amount - Withdrawal amount per day * number of days

1895 = 5000 - 45*x

$1895=5000-45x$

Solving for x;

$1895-5000=-45x\\-3105=-45x\\-45x=-3105$

Dividing both sides by -45

$\frac{-45x}{-45}=\frac{-3105}{-45}\\x=69$

He has been withdrawing money for 69 days.
