Question

Ben currently has $70 in his trip fund. He saves $27 for weekly expenses. Which equation can be used to determine the amount of the money (y), in dollars, that Ben has in his trip fund at the end of the x weeks?

Answer 1

The equation y = 70-27x can be used to determine the amount of money.

Explanation:

Given that:

Amount Ben has in his trip fund = $70

Amount save by Ben each week = $27

Number of weeks = x

Amount of money after x weeks = y

According to given statement;

y = 70-27x

Hence,

The equation y = 70-27x can be used to determine the amount of money.
