Answer 1

Cynthia can spend upto 19 days.

Explanation:

Cynthia plans on spending $25 on daily basis.

The total budget she has is of $475.

Let the number of days she can use it be "n".

The total amount she can spend is found by multiplying the daily expenditure with the number of days.

Then the equation reduces to,

`(25)(n) = 475`

`n = (475)/(25) = 19`

Thus, Cynthia can spend upto 19 days after which she runs out of money.
