The Deep Dive

To find out how much Karen saved last week, let’s call the amount she saved last week "x." The problem states that P200 is P50 more than twice that amount. We can set up the equation: P200 = 2x + P50. Now, let’s simplify it. By subtracting P50 from both sides, we get P150 = 2x. Dividing both sides by 2 gives us x = P75. So, Karen saved P75 last week! Now, isn't it cool how we can turn a little money mystery into math magic?
