Question

Ray is in debt $32 right now. He used to owe more, but he has been paying $6 a month on his debt for the last five months. How much was Ray in debt 5 months ago? Thank you!!!

Answer 1

$62, was his debt 5 months ago.
If he's paying $6 dollars each month, and 5 months has passed; multiply 6 by 5 and you get 30.
He has paid $30 dollars already, and still has $32 left to pay.
Add them up for the total, $32 + $30 = $62.
