He started with 80 dollars, because after spending half of his savings (80 ÷ 2 = 40), he was left with 40 dollars. Cutting grass, he got more $20 for a total of $60. So, he had $80.

Chris started with $80 so option (C) will be correct.

How to form an equation?

Determine the known quantities and designate the unknown quantity as a variable while trying to set up or construct a linear equation to fit a real-world application.

In other words, an equation is a set of variables that are constrained through a situation or case.

Given that,

Saving is x dollars

He spent half of his savings which means x/2 dollars

Now,

He earned an additional $60 so saving become

x/2 + 20

Now saying that it is equal to the 60

So,

x/2 + 20 = 60

x/2 = 40

x = 80

Hence "Chris started with $80 so option (C) will be correct".
