Corinne and her wife, Jewel, were trying to save money for a fishing trip. They want to have $750 saved before they make a reservation at the campground. Corinne deposited $212.75 into the vacation account and Jewel deposited $318.50. How much more do they need to save before they can make the reservation?(1 point)

To find out how much more they need to save before they can make the reservation, we need to subtract the total amount they have saved from the target amount of $750.
Total amount saved = $212.75 + $318.50 = $531.25
Amount left to save = $750 - $531.25 = $218.75
Therefore, Corinne and Jewel need to save an additional $218.75 before they can make the reservation.

To find out how much more Corinne and Jewel need to save before they can make the reservation, we need to calculate the total amount they have saved so far and subtract it from the target amount of $750.
Corinne deposited $212.75, and Jewel deposited $318.50.
Adding these amounts together:
$212.75 + $318.50 = $531.25
The total amount they have saved so far is $531.25.
To find out how much more they need to save:
$750 (target amount) - $531.25 (total saved amount) = $218.75
Therefore, Corinne and Jewel still need to save $218.75 before they can make the reservation.
To determine how much more Corinne and Jewel need to save before they can make the reservation, we need to add up the deposits they have made and subtract it from the desired savings amount.
1. Add up the deposits made by Corinne and Jewel:
Corinne's deposit = $212.75
Jewel's deposit = $318.50
Total deposits = $212.75 + $318.50 = $531.25
2. Subtract the total deposits from the desired savings amount:
Desired savings amount = $750
Remaining amount to save = $750 - $531.25 = $218.75
Therefore, Corinne and Jewel still need to save $218.75 more before they can make the reservation.
