15. In November, Juanita saves $242. In

December, she saves $80 less than in

November. How much does she save

in all? Use an equation to represent

the problem.

The total money saved by Juanita in all = $404

And the equation a = 242 - 80 represent the problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the money saved in November by Juanita = $242

Let us assume he money saved by her in December = $ a

Also, Money saved in December = Money saved in November - $80

⇒$ a = $242 - $ 80

or, a = $162

So, the money saved in December by Juanita = $162

Now, the total savings = Money Saved in (November + December)

= $242 + $162 = $404

Hence, The total money saved by Juanita in all = $404

And the equation a = 242 - 80 represent the problem.
