Keisha had $54 when she went to a bookstore. She
had $12 left after buying some books. Which
equation can be used to find a, the amount Keisha
spent on books?
54 - a = 12
B
a - 54 = 12
a +54 = 12
12 + 54 = a
It will be a: 54-a=12 This is because she started with 54 and ended with 12. You need to keep a in the middle since that’s the amount you spent to end up at 12. Have a good day :)
