Jay is saving two-thirds of his savings account for his college education. If he has set aside $2500 from his savings for his college education, how much money, in total, is in his savings account? Write an equation to model and solve the problem. Explain the answer in terms of the problem

$3750

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Jay saves of the savings account for his college education.

Money set aside for the college education = $2500

To find:

Total money present in the savings account of Jay = ?

Solution:

Let the total money in the savings account be $.

As per question statement:

The equation to model the problem is:

Now, let us solve the above equation:

Total money saved in the savings account is $3750.

Out of the total money $2500 is saved for college education.

fabric (square meters)                   cloaks

7                                                           21

4/3                                                         4

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that harry needs 2 square meters of fabric for every 6 wizard cloaks he makes.

1. first of all we will find how many cloaks can be made from 1 square meter of fabric by dividing 6 by 2.

we can see that 3 cloaks can be made from 1 square meter of fabric. now we will multiply 3 by 7 to find number of cloaks made from 7 square meters of fabric.

therefore, harry will make 21 cloaks from 7 square meters of fabric.

2. let us find how many square meters of fabric will be needed to make 4 cloaks.

first of all we will find fabric needed for 1 cloak by dividing 2 by 6.

we can see that fabric needed for 1 cloak is   square meter. now we will multiply   by 4 to find fabric needed for 4 cloaks.
