Isabel Schneider · Answer 1

125=15d+50

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract what she has from what she needs so 125-50=75

Then divide that by the amount of money she makes a day to figure out how many days she'll need to work so, 75/15=-5

She will have to work 5 days in order to have enough to buy her ticket

Barbara Molina · Answer 2

Answer:50+15d=125

5 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 50 from both sides to get 15d=75 then divide both sides by 15 and the answer is 5 days
