The balance of Pam's bank account tripled during the year. At the end of the year, Pam withdrew $[AMOUNT]. If her current balance is $[AMOUNT], how much did she have in the bank account at the beginning of the year?
First, we have to come up with the balance before her withdrawal. $950 (current) + $250 (withdraw) = $<<950+250=1200>>1200.
Now since we know that is triple, we divide by 3. $1200 / 3 = $<<1200/3=400>>400
