Hi A, let x represent the amount spent producing electric guitars. Then the amount spent producing acoustic guitars was x + 50 (million.) Set up an equation and solve.
x + (x + 50) = 89
Solve for x:
x + x + 50 = 89
2x + 50 = 89
Subtract 50 from both sides:
2x = 39
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 19.5
The company spent 19.5 million producing electric guitars.
