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
f= 315/3
sorry: 3f=315
To find out how much Fred has, let's represent his amount with the variable "f."
Given that Rita has $315 in the bank, which is three times the amount that Fred has, we can set up the following equation:
315 = 3f
To solve for "f," we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation:
Divide both sides of the equation by 3:
315/3 = 3f/3
105 = f
Therefore, Fred has $105 in the bank.
