Question

Tom received an allowance of $300 for his upcoming trip to Canada. He knows that he will spend $15 each day on food. Which equation represents the amount of extra spending money, m, that Tom will have after d days on his trip?

Answer 1

m=15d-300

Explanation:

Answer 2

300-15d = m

Explanation:

Since he spends 15 each day, we dont know how many days, so we put 15d to represent $15 spent each day (d)

We use this formula above ^ and subtract that from 300, which is why it's

300 - 15d

Lastly, we need to find money remaining, so 300 - 15d = m
