The dance committee was given money to pay for a DJ and refreshments for the spring dance. After paying $125 to the DJ, the dance committee had $250 left to spend on refreshments. Which equation can be used to find a, the original amount of money the committee was given?

a−$125=$250

$125×a=$250

$250−$125 = a

$250÷a=$125

step-by-step explanation:

well if you round, things become much more simple. round 5.95 to 6, 4.25 to 4, and 1.05 to 1. now, add 6+4+1 and that would equal 11. so the items together would equal to about $11.

use distributive property on all like terms and change your signs if you have a double negative or if you have positive/negative
