3. Jaylen and Destiny bought a video game that cost \( \$ 65.75 \). Jaylen contributed \( \$ 43 \) to the cost of the video game. Write an addition equation that could be used to find how much money Destiny contributed to the cost of the video game. (Example 1)

To determine how much Destiny contributed, you can set up the equation: \( 43 + x = 65.75 \). Here, \( x \) represents the amount Destiny contributed. By solving for \( x \), you'll find out exactly how much she pitched in! Once you have that equation, you can easily figure out Destiny's contribution by subtracting Jaylen's amount from the total cost: \( x = 65.75 - 43 \). This simple calculation helps ensure both friends know how much they contributed to their awesome new game!
