Jason had money in savings before a purchase of $250. He nows has $136.25. Choose the equation.

Answer 1

To find the equation representing Jason's situation, we can set up a simple equation based on the information given.

Let's denote the amount of money Jason had in savings before the purchase as \( x \). After making a purchase of $250, his remaining amount is $136.25.

The equation can be set up as follows:

\[ x - 250 = 136.25 \]

This equation states that the amount Jason had before the purchase minus the purchase amount equals what he has left.
