Please can you give me an algebraic expression for the following I am litterally racking my brain on this, please
Rita has $315 in the bank. This amount is three times the amount that Fred has. How
much does Fred have? Use f to represent Fred's amount
To find out how much Fred has, we can set up an equation using the given information.
Let's say Fred has an amount represented by f.
The problem states that Rita has $315, which is three times the amount Fred has. So we can write the equation:
315 = 3f
To solve for f, we will rearrange the equation to isolate f.
Dividing both sides of the equation by 3, we get:
f = 315 / 3
Simplifying the right side of the equation, we have:
f = 105
Therefore, Fred has $105 in the bank.
