Marcella McCall makes a deposit at her bank. When she is finished, she has a receipt for a total $1301. She recalls that the checks deposited totaled three times the amount of currency she had deposited. She did not deposit any coins. What amount of checks did she deposit?

$769 and $200 in cash.

She recalls that the checks deposited totaled two times the amount of currency

Currency =$200 x2 = $400

Checks = $400

$769 -400= $369 ( currency) (3) $100, (3) $20. (1) $5, (4) $1Step-by-step

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
