Question

Mark had $436. chris has $86 less than mark.write an expression to show how much money chris actually had

Answer 1

We have been given that Mark had $436.

Further, we are given that Chris has $86 lesser than what mark had.

Let us assume that Chris has $x. Therefore, we can set up an equation:

(Amount Chris had) + $86 = (Amount Mark had)

`x+86=436`

Upon subtracting 86 from both the sides, we get:

`x=436-86`

Therefore, the required expression that represent the amount of money that Chris had is
`436-86`.
