Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information.

You are saving money for a school trip. You have saved $156. This is $62 less than the trip costs.

02

Step 2. Calculation.

Let x represent the total cost of the trip.

We have been given that we have already saved an amount of $156 for the trip and we still need $62.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

x−62=156

Let us solve for x.

x−62=156x−62+62=156+62Adding62onbothsidesx=218

Therefore, the total cost of the trip would be $218.
