Identify an equation that models the situation and find its solution.
Antonio earned $55.30 mowing lawns. He wants to buy a skateboard that costs $87.95. How much money does Antonio still need to buy the skateboard?
A. m + $87.95 = $55.30
m = $32.65
B. $55.30 + m = $87.95
m = $32.65
C. m – $87.95 = $55.30
m = $32.65
D. $55.30 – m = $87.95
m = $143.25

Correct Answer: C. m – $87.95 = $55.30
m = $32.65
Wrong again!!
B is the obvious equation.
m = 32.65
C would have an answer of m = 143.25, which of course is wrong.
