Answer 1

Let's assume that Raven received $x in each birthday card.

Since she received three cards with the same amount of money, the total amount she received from the cards is 3 * x = 3x.

Raven's initial savings account balance was $250, and after depositing her birthday money, her savings account balance became $340.

Therefore, we can set up the equation 250 + 3x = 340 to represent this situation.

To solve for x, we subtract 250 from both sides of the equation:

3x = 340 - 250
3x = 90

Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 3 to solve for x:

x = 90.

Therefore, Raven received $90 in each birthday card.
