    So here we have Edward, working to get some Beats by Dre!

    The numbers they give us can definitely be used to figure out how much he had before spending $43 on cleaning supplies.

    Since we know that AFTER spending $43 on cleaning supplies he has $198, we will ADD $43 to $198.

    198

    + 43

    = 241.

    After doing the math, we find out that he had $241 to start out with.

    Now; to make an equation!

    leftover + supplies = total.

    The amount he had after spending money on supplies plus the amount he had already spent on supplies equals the total amount he made from washing cars - in this case, $241.

    Let's take another similar scenario!

    Edward is washing cars and, after spending $75 on supplies, has $175 left over to buy his Beats.

    We'll go back to that equation we used earlier (leftover + supplies = total).

    leftover ($175) + supplies ($75) = total ($250).

    See? Using that equation and the numbers I gave, we calculated how much money he made overall.
