Felicity Richard · Answer 1

12 gifts

Step-by-step explanation:

set the equation to 270-15x=330-20x

Pablo Espinoza · Answer 2

david: 12g=270

her: 20g=330

david buys 5 gifts he will have 210 dollars left in his account (12x5 = 60 & 270 - 60 = 210)

if kristin buys 6 gifts she will have 210 dollars left (20x6 = 120 & 330-120 = 210)
