1. jamar earned $2,500 from his summer job at the grocery store. this is $350 more than twice what his friend todd earned. how much did todd earn from his summer job?

Explanation:

Step1: Define variable for Todd's earnings

Let \(x\) = Todd's earnings.

Step2: Set up equation from problem

\(2x + 350 = 2500\)

Step3: Isolate the term with \(x\)

Subtract 350 from both sides:
\(2x = 2500 - 350\)
\(2x = 2150\)

Step4: Solve for \(x\)

Divide both sides by 2:
\(x = \frac{2150}{2}\)
\(x = 1075\)

Answer:

$\$1075$
