Asked by Ashley

Marilyn got a birthday check from her grandmother. She spent half of it on a soccer ball, and then earned $20 mowing a neighbors lawn. She now has $38. How much was her birthday check?

A. 38/2=c+20
B. C+38=20/2
C. 2c=38-20
D. C/2+20=38
Answered by LR
The answer would be C, because you would do 38-20, then divide by two, if that makes sense.
Answered by Ms. Sue
No it doesn't make sense. She received much more than $9 for her birthday.

The answer is not C.

At the beginning, she had C. Then she used half of it: what does she have at this point?

Then, she gets $20: so she has 20 + what she had at the last stage = $38.

You should be able to work out the answer by yourself by spending a bit of time on each step.
