Blake saved $\bold{\$ 433.80}$

Option - A

SOLUTION:

Given, Blake and James are planning to go on a trip.

Blake already has some money saved.

Let the amount saved by Blake be $\$ n$ .

She earns $\$96$ more by working overtime.

Then, total amount by Blake $=\$(n+96)$

James has $\$ 53$ more than 4 times the amount of money that Blake has saved.

Then, total amount by James will be $\$ 53+4 \times \$ n=\$(4 n+53)$

If they have $\$2,318$ in all, we have to find how much money had Blake originally saved

Now, total amount = $\$2318$

$\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow \text { Amount by Blake }+\text { amount by James }=2318} \\\\ {\rightarrow \mathrm{n}+96+4 \mathrm{n}+53=2318 \rightarrow 5 \mathrm{n}+149=2318 \rightarrow 5 \mathrm{n}=2318-149 \rightarrow 5 \mathrm{n}=2169 \rightarrow \mathrm{n}=433.8}\end{array}$
