You have $150 in a savings account and you have some cash. The tape diagram represents the ratio of the amounts of money. You want to have twice the amount of money in your savings account as you have in cash. How much of your cash should you deposit into your savings account?

Tape diagrams are used to represent numbers as a ratio

$200 from the cash should be deposited into the savings account

Represent the amount in the savings account with s, and the cash with c.

So, we have the following ratio from the tape diagram

You have $150 in the savings account.

So, the ratio becomes

Express as fractions

Multiply both sides by 150

Let the deposited amount be x.

Twice the amount in the savings account as cash means that:

Open brackets

Collect like terms

Divide both sides by 3

Hence, $200 from the cash should be deposited into the savings account

$200

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

You have $150 in a savings account.

This is represented with two tiles.

Then each tile represents:

$150/2 = $75

And in cash you have 5 tiles, then in cash you have:

5*$75 = $375.

Then the problem is:

You have $150 in the savings account

You have $375 in cash.

You want to deposit a quantity such that you have twice the amount of money in your savings account as you have in cash.

Suppose that you move a quantity X from cash to the savings account, then now we have the situation:

Sav. Acc. = $150 + X

Cash = $375 - X

And we want that:

Sav. Acc. = 2*Cash

($150 + X) = 2*($375 - X)

Let's solve this for X.

$150 + X = $750 - 2*X

3*X = $750 - $150 = $600

X = $600/3 = $200

You should deposit $200 in the Savings acount.
