Question

dora puts 50 cents in her piggy bank every night before she goes to bed. If M represents the money (in dollars) in her piggy bank this morning, how much money (in dollars) is in her piggy bank when she goes to bed at night?

Answer 1

She adds .50 to the piggy bank before she goes to bed, so if M is how much she had when she woke up, she would have .50 more than M when she goes to bed.

 

M + .50
