Question

Heather has $45.71 in her savings account. She bought six packs of markers to donate to her school. Write an expression for how much money she has in her bank account after the donation.

Answer 1

Answer: 45.71 - 6x = y

Explanation:

45.71 - 6x = y

x= the amount 1 pack of markers cost

y= how much money Heather has after the donation

Answer 2

Answer: The required expression for amount left in her bank after the donation is given by
`Amount\ left=45.71-6x`

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount of her saving = $45.71

Number of packs of markers to donate to her school = 6

Let the cost of each pack of markers be 'x'.

So, Amount left in her bank account after the donation is given by

`Amount\ left=45.71-6x`

Hence, the required expression for amount left in her bank after the donation is given by

`45.71-6x`
