Question

Janelle saved up 265$ then she bought a sweater for d dollars. How much money does Janelle have left? Write your answer as an expression.

Answer 1

Let J(d) represent the amount of money Janelle has left. Then:

J(d) = $265 - d, where d is the price paid for that sweater.

Answer 2

The expression which is used to represent the amount of money left with Janelle is:

$ (265-d)

Explanation:

The amount of money that Janelle has saved before the purchase is: $ 265

Also, she bought a sweater for d dollars.

This means that now d dollars amount will be deducted from the amount which she has saved before the purchase.

Hence, the amount she will be left with is: $ (265-d)
