Question

IF she saved $60 last month, how much did she save this month?

X

Answer 1

5 x $60= $300

Answer 2

Let's start by defining your variables. 

 

Let D = dollars saved last month. According to the problem, D = $60 

 

It also says that this month she saved 5 x D, so she saved 5 x $60, right?
