Human: Yasmin deposited a $50 birthday check from her grandmother in her bank account. The check was worth a quarter of her new balance after the check money is added. How many dollars were in her account before she deposited the check? Assistant:
The $50 check is worth 1/4 of Yasmin’s new balance, so her new balance is 50 * 4 = $200.
Thus, Yasmin had 200 - 50 = $150 in her account before she deposited the check.
