the helmet sheena would buy cost $4 less then 4 times the amount she has saved. The helmet cost $60 how much money did sheena save?

Sheena has saved $16

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much Sheena has currently saved, we need to backtrack our way from the helmet cost.

We can form the equation 60 = (x·4) - 4, as sheena needs $60, which is four less than (-4) four times her savings (x·4).

Now lets work this problem out

60 = (x·4) - 4

Lets move the 4 to the other side

64 = x·4

Now lets divide by 4

16 = x

Now we know that Sheena has saved $16!
