Question

To raise money for charity, Warren and his friends start the Pampered Pooch Pet Wash. The first day they are open, they forget to put up posters and only raise a little money. The next day, they hang posters all over the neighborhood and raise $55.50. In all, Warren and his friends raise $65.50 on the first two days they are open.

Which equation can you use to find the amount of money a Warren and his friends raise on the first day?

a+55.50=65.50

55.50a=65.50

a-55.50=65.50

a-65.50=55.50
a + 0 = x (where x is the amount of money raised on the first day) since they forgot to put up posters and raised only a little money on the first day.
